. . . not the worst campaign ad I’ve seen. And the “Need this job to afford my house” qualifier is better than voting for a dude who loses track of how many he has.
Y’know, I could be mis-remembering something, but as I recall anyone elected to Congress (either senate or house) retains their salary as a pension for the rest of their life. So strictly, she doesn’t need to be re-elected
It was implied that she afforded the house through accepting massive bribes, though, which is the sort of thing that’s less likely to follow her if she loses her seat.
Jesus, between the crazy stuff the other tea party candidates are saying, Christine, and the Nazi guy, I’m beginning to wonder what a Republican candidate has to say or do to be completely discredited and abandoned.
Results may vary, though. It’s like expecting to be dangling out of the same tree with the same lampshade on your head every time you awaken from a drunken binge.
And of course, once again we come back from a cliffhanger on Friday to a one-shot gag strip that does nothing to abate the suspense that’s been hanging over the weekend. DAMN YOU WILLIS.
California. Shortpacked! takes place in San Francisco, so that’d be the logical conclusion.
IDK, WOULD Willis be enough of a diabolical bastard to completely defy the electoral process and have Robin elected to a state she doesn’t even live in?
Is Sidney still in the race? I got the impression she dropped out after Robin pointed out that after all her efforts with the Axis of Something to get revenge by running for office against he, and kidnapping all of the Shortpacked! employees, she could have just broken into the store early in the morning and set fire to the place. She walked away from Robin after she said that, at any rate.
But you and Old_Crow might have a point. Sidney was beating Robin in the polls when she was on TV doing interviews where she was laughing maniacally, while bragging that she was only running for office to get revenge on the toy store that fired her a couple of years ago. That’s pretty crazy, even for Shortpacked!
XD Gotta feel real sorry for alotta the girls today. Because in a few decades, when they grow up and some of them want to run for office….
“We have proof that you were apparently in love with… A vampire?”
“Well… I liked Twilight alot.”
“Vampire!”
XD If people have trouble with a witch, Vampires are gonna stand no chance.
I have always maintained that she is a werewolf. That’s part of the appeal! I mean, she transforms and tears apart her enemies in congressional hearings!
“I am not a werewolf… but my DNA has been spliced with alien DNA.”
If that alien DNA came from an alien that was not in our country legally, then her campaign may have a problem.
It would be funny if Willis did a “Swift Boat” type of commercial against Robin, with members of SEMME Squad 82 or Squad128 telling lies about her service with them.
No, I think it’s clear that the real winner is whoever looks better on a T-shirt. It fits the data better. Besides, if we’re gonna go with crazy, then you have to account for McCain deliberately inflicting She Who Must Not Be Named on the American people. Even Pandora could see that bad news coming a mile away!
Singularikitty for president. We got the first black president, now it’s time for the next milestone. The first all-consuming, pink, eldritch cat…thingy president.
but is she okay with masturbation?
That’s comparatively a non-issue. What we REALLY need to know is, where does she stand on cloning mice with human intelligence?
b-b-but masturbation is America’s *real* national pastime
To be fair, such mice could plot to take over the world.
Worse – They could masturbate!
Bum-Bum-BUUUUUM!
Fap-Fap-FAAAAAAP!!!
Worser- they could plot to take over the world while masturbating!
I think Christine O’Donnell mistook an episode of “Pinky and the Brain” for a documentary.
It’s okay, Robin. I never got Goonies either.
I haven’t seen it and don’t ever want to.
The Goonies aren’t good enough for you?
No, terrible things are not ‘good enough’
I live in a world where there are people who actually hate The Goonies? What the shitting fuck?
Everything Spielberg ever did later, he did in ‘Goonies’ first. Indiana Jones is Chunk’s godchild.
godihatechristineodonnell
Hahaha XD Expensive Appetite’s face is excellent.
Oh! Venture Bros. tonight had a guy named Fat Chance pull a popcorn popper toy out of his Enigma Hole belly! =o Could they be Shortpacked! fans…??
Sure, because Shortpacked! is the only possible place to have ever heard of one of those things.
Singularikitty? I like it.

“I fucked your mom”?
They’d probably get a standing ovation and phone numbers to other Baggers moms…
“I support-” followed by anything Obama or Democrats ever mentioned might sorta-kinda-maybe have been nice.
Robin, Robin, Robin. In this day and age, how can you have never seen a penis?
Ceci n’est pas une pipe
Mais il est PIPE!
Je suis le cousin français de Artie, le Strongest Man dans le Monde.
Why didn’t it translate entirely? Grrr…
Actually, the random English words just make it sound more authentically French.
…which is why members of L’Académie française cry themselves to sleep each night.
Are you French Canadian? Cause that seems like French Canadian French right there…
She needs to find Ronnie.
I would vote for her; that was the best political ad I have seen to date.
Say what you want, but I believe that EVERY political ad should start with “I am not a [insert mythical creature]“.
I prefer the “Based on my incredibly limited and biased view on [subject], … “
“My name is Carl Palladino, and I am not a donkey from Tijuana.” Oh wait, that’s not mythical. Well, Palladino being one is, but… hmm, maybe it’s not.
Maybe she just needs to eat more Cadbury Cream Egg cereal and just go from there…

… Also, which state does Robin represent?
California. Shortpacked! takes place in San Francisco, so that’d be the logical conclusion.
IDK, WOULD Willis be enough of a diabolical bastard to completely defy the electoral process and have Robin elected to a state she doesn’t even live in?
David, did you realize when you had Robin run for office what a perfect mockery of every female Republican candidate she would be?
… you mean that WASN’T the point?
Did you realize when you wrote this comment how blatantly sexist it sounds?
Robyn would so have my vote in the midterms. A little honesty from a candidate is so refreshing.
Incidentally Walky, have you seen this yet?

Her opponent is Sidney Yus.
So, yes.
Is Sidney still in the race? I got the impression she dropped out after Robin pointed out that after all her efforts with the Axis of Something to get revenge by running for office against he, and kidnapping all of the Shortpacked! employees, she could have just broken into the store early in the morning and set fire to the place.

Crazier people than her have ran for office and succeeded.
That’s how we ended up with this yahoo as President: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fhGS0tAcQg
Happy Thanksgiving to those Canadians out there. May your tummy’s be full, and your heads light from alcohol!

Did you just somehow suggest that Bella “I Have No Character Depth” Swan will someday run for office?
Dear God in Heaven. I’m gonna start makin’ plans to get smuggled into Mexico. Thanks a lot.
Dang! And here I thought she was an honest politician.
I have always maintained that she is a werewolf. That’s part of the appeal! I mean, she transforms and tears apart her enemies in congressional hearings!
Plus, when she transforms, she totally bursts out of her clothes, right? That’s gotta win the furry vote right there, at least…
Plus when she turns back to human, she’s a nude human. That’ll probably give her a few points with her constitupeeps.
“I am not a werewolf… but my DNA has been spliced with alien DNA.”
If that alien DNA came from an alien that was not in our country legally, then her campaign may have a problem.

Dammit, now I can’t get the idea of Werewolf Robin out of my mind. (Did this ever happen in It’s Walky?) It is amusing, to say the least.
No, I think it’s clear that the real winner is whoever looks better on a T-shirt. It fits the data better. Besides, if we’re gonna go with crazy, then you have to account for McCain deliberately inflicting She Who Must Not Be Named on the American people.

That penultimate panel needs to become a Newsbox.
There are a remarkable amount of “that’s what she said!” setup lines in these comments.
Even with this campaign ad, she’d only be like the seventh craziest candidate this cycle. I wish I was exaggerating for effect.
Somehow the pink eldritch creature will win the election. We’re all doomed.
Doomed. DOOMED.
