Try as I may...

Meaningless as it was, I hope that comic helped bolster your self image. I see no other purpose for it, which is not unusual for the WofI.

MGarber: What??? I have no idea what you are talking about. A comic to bolster "my self image?" Sorry. I just thought it was funny and there is a grain of truth to it, too.
You seem to be over-analyzing things.

These are a couple classics as well:

"With the upcoming election of Mitt Romney as 45th President of the United
States...

Madam Hemmer reading goat entrails again?

As far as I can tell it looks like it is going to be a close race the future is still "up
for grabs".

But then again I don't profess to having any prophetic powers.

ExToDResident:
On April 15th I predicted that Scott Walker would win the recall election.
Did pretty good on that one.
I do predict that Mitt Romney will be our next president.
And no, I am not reading "goat entrails." Disgusting.
I am basing my prediction on common sense. Many who voted for Barry O. before are disenchanted. He is losing voting blocs right and left (no pun intended). Obama is sinking in the polls, and I think the Democratic Party is in panic mode. They don't know what to do. The first step was Obama's overstep of Congress trying to get the illegal Mexican votes by granting his own kind of amnesty. They've really lost most of their voting blocs of the past due to Obama's horrible tenure as prez. We've seen what he had done. What he is trying to do. And most don't like it. His reliable voting blocs of yesterday have disappeared. The states he swept in the prior election have disappeared. Mitt Romney must stay on message - to save America from socialism and the anti-American behaviors of Barry O. - and most WILL vote for him. The only question in play is the cheat factor, but with Voter ID (which I also predict will be the law of the land in our state before November) in place, it will be harder for the Dems to cheat and Barry O. will go down in flames.
This IS a real tipping point for our country -do we WANT socialism ala Obama - or freedom and a true republic upon which our nation was founded via Mitt Romney?
The choice is oh-so-simple.

"Try as I may, I can't add a thing to this...." other than perhaps showing a release allowing you to post a syndicated cartoon. If you have purchased the right to post, my sincere apologies, otherwise what say you in defense of stealing.

Ah, ref, don't you have anything better to worry about?
From the cartoonist own website regarding copyright permission:
"Can I post a BC, Wizard of Id or Dogs of C-Kennel strip in my weblog? Yes you may, as long as you don't alter the strip in any way."
I also had to provide a link to my blog and it was a done deal. End of story.

Thanks Carthamus.

If Willard does become the 45, the original comic strip will be prophetic indeed!

Something to ponder:
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0612/77578.html
“Ireland is Romney economics in practice. They’ve laid off a large fraction of their public workforce, they’ve slashed spending, they’ve had extreme austerity programs,”

“They have 14 percent unemployment, 30 percent youth unemployment, zero economic growth. Ireland is a demonstration - Ireland is America’s future if Romney becomes president,” Krugman added.

"http://www.johnhartstudios.com/jhs_blog/2008/11/an-altered-wizard-of-id-strip.php "

So Hemmer's strip is plagiarism, isn't it?

Amy - do you still stick to your story that you got permission from the cartoonist's own website to run an altered cartoon? Compare the way the letters are formed in the first two frames to the way they are formed in the third. Especially the 'O', 'E', 'H', 'A' and 'D'. Based on past history, I don't think we'll be seeing this particular posting here for much longer.

Referee33: I provided a link to my blog for John Hart studios. If they ask me to take down the strip, I will. I have not heard a peep from them so far. And I received the strip in an e-mail, as this one has gone viral for quite some time. I did not personally alter it. And I do think it is quite funny. So, it will remain up until I hear from the folks at Wizard of Id. Enjoy!

It's plagiarism Hemmer. Some people have class, some people don't.

Plagiarism, jmann99? How so?
Plagiarism is defined (from Wikipedia): " as the "wrongful appropriation," "close imitation," or "purloining and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions," and the representation of them as one's own original work.
I really don't think I am presenting this cartoon as my own work. Any moron can easily see the cartoonists name in the lower right hand corner of the strip.
Please 'xplain, jman99.

Almost passed over this funny gem in referee33's recent comment:
"Based on past history, I don't think we'll be seeing this particular posting here for much longer."
Please 'xplain that one, Ref. Am I missing something?

the funny part of this is that either version of the comic have the same result. The only difference is that in the one it is spelled out that the Democrats are the liars were as the other you have to come to the common sense decision that it is the Democrats as the better liars. This has always been true that the better liars are Democrats.

Romney is finally getting around to disclosing some information about his financial
holdings that he apparently overlooked before, hmmm (added for effect) .

financial-disclosures-to-include-112471.html

I'm sorry but I just don't trust the rich any farther than I can outspend them.

"This has always been true that the better liars are democrats." gr8outdrs

Do you believe any of what the democrats are saying? If the democrats are better
liars then why don't you believe what the democrats are saying? How can
democrats be better liars if they can't convince people to believe them?

Seems to me the republicans are the better liars since they have so many people
believing their rhetoric.

What a joke you are Amy. You state you have permission to run a cartoon by
Hart as long as it is not altered,then run an altered cartoon.
Yeah you missed something as usual.
