Today's Republicans wouldn't dream of actually looking up the meaning of a word, so of course they have no idea that not all vegetarians are vegan. All they know is that vegan is a word they've been told they should sling as an insult.

Thanks for another informative blog, as well as hilarious cartoon. Love the ear patch.

Well done...under shitty circumstances.

Yeah, don't count on Cornyn pulling a "Tillis" or a "Cassidy" and now feeling he can buck Trump. Cornyn endorsed Paxton and promised to work to help him win. 🤮

Audrey Eve's avatar

Ugh

It’s so disappointing Cornyn went so far to the other side to endorse. I thought slightly more highly of him. Clearly he still somehow depends on MAGAts.

PTW's avatar

And I don't know why. If you are on your way out of politics, why do you care what the MAGAts think of you? Unless he is worried about violence from them if he angers Dear Leader post-primary....

Who knows. Vendors Paxton. Maybe he what’s to be CoS??

Cronyism Cronyn will be eating crow … If he thinks he’s got a future it will be his appointment as dog catcher by the REPUGNANTCUNTS … but I think he’ll have to suffer further as the Blue Tsunami sweeps even Texas.

Independents are something like 45% of voters. Republicans and Democrats are each only about 27% of voters, and the traditional Republicans dt labels RINOs are getting fed up with the fascist parasites. Locally they certainly have crossed the aisle in the last election, with our very red district voting in Democrats thanks partly to independents and “rinos”.

Personally, i would love to see a strong, independent animal w teeth and claws used by cartoonists to depict us independents.

I’d love to see the GOP elephant depicted as small as their general election voting power.

I’d love to see cartoons with rhinos attacking mini-elephants.

It hit me afterward that people who do not know that Paxton is considered the WEAKER Republican candidate in TX for the general election might misunderstand my post. It was not a criticism but a comment on perceptions of the upcoming situation in that election and many others.

Clay, since you probably have a little insight on the thinking of Texans - I sure don’t - what is it that entices them to vote for a guy like Paxton?

Clay Jones's avatar

I wasn't raised there. I was born on a military base. I'm probably gonna live there for a few months. I have a cousin who lives in Texas, and she sent me a comment disparaging me for being mean to Ted Cruz. So those heads I can't get inside of..

CVG's avatar

Inscrutable in their own way, I guess.

Beth Winfrey's avatar

I don't know what Clay's take is, but as far as I can see, they are as dumb as rocks. And that covers most red necks in general. And just so you know I am married to one but not from TX. I am a CA girl born and raised, and living there now.

From Paxton's "I ❤️ BRIBES" pin, to Peezy stuck in the taco, to Thom Tillis's quote, to the punchline, and to your last sentence...you had me just cracking up!

Thanks for that, as always!

Love the ear diaper and poor Peezy! What if he gets eaten!

Thanks for the analysis.

Joan Eisenstodt's avatar

I’m hoping he bites Paxton’s mouth and escapes!!!

Deborah solleveld's avatar

Peezy has better taste I think

Karyn Milos's avatar

My bet is that Peezy's just poopin' in that taco, adding a little extra something, before he jumps out and makes his escape. 😏

Great toon today and I had to laugh at play on the Chick fil A saying on the ear diaper today.

Ironic that Texas Repugnacunts would nominate an out and out corrupt Trumphukian sycophant in Paxton to run for senator when the politics are turning quickly against corruption? Maybe just 1) stooooopid and 2) a golden opportunity for the Democrats with Talarico—aka Mr. Squeaky Clean.

There are almost 19 million registered voters in Texas. Paxton received 886 thousand votes in the primary.

McDonalds, Taco Bell, and Chik-Fil-A—all in a day’s (daze) work! What a hoot!😂😂

Marc Donner's avatar

Aww, you’re trying to save Texas. How sweet. Best wishes.

Marc Donner's avatar

Gotta call you out on Peezy here. Grubby sh%t is one thing, but putting him in with cannibals? That’s just plain cruel. I protest on Peezy’s behalf.

Props for not using his physical issue with his eyes as a caricature feature, as many of your 'colleagues' are known to; clearly what's * inside* that ugly head is the problem.

(I do, though, find it hard not to think of Leo G. Carroll at the end of 'Tarantula' sometimes...)

Clay Jones's avatar

I'm not sure if people would recognize it, and I don't know what happened to Leo G. Carrol at the end of "Tarantula."

Here is one of the less horrific images:

Sorry for even broaching the subject, but kudos again to you for your depiction of him.
