With Bush out of office, Dave Rees, the author of the seminal (i.e. fucking awesome et al) "Get Your War On" Cartoons, has retired his pithy Accounts Receivable/Payable clip-art characters.
For me, and many other fans, the absence of the scathingly correct little strips of truth and catharsis has caused an ache I am unable to assuage. I drink heavily now and use many illegal substances. In my frustration, I find myself shouting insults at penguins ("Your suit has an unflattering silhouette!". Just last night, I threatened to pack dolphin-unsafe tuna salads in my wife's lunches.
It's been rough.
Dave's been keepin' it real over on HuffPo, blogginating.
But he's also got the hottest blog on the internet. And today, he made a post I feel is very very trenchant. I like that word, so shut up.
