Operation Explosive Diarrhea

Usually when I draw food in a cartoon, I will get a hankering for that specific food. Not this time. The last thing I want at this time is a Taco Bell burrito. And yeah, with diabetes, I can eat the Cantina chicken burrito, but I will pass for now.

I got this idea last night while watching Curb Your Enthusiasm. Larry David and some friends are in the restaurant at his golf club, and their food is taking forever. Each person comments about how hungry they are, and when their food finally arrives, the waitress apologizes for the delay and explains that it's because she has diarrhea. Immediately, all the diners lose their appetite, and nobody touches their food. But what I got out of it is a cartoon idea. And maybe it's a gross idea at that. But thanks, LD.

When proofer Laura saw the cartoon, she said, “Ew.” I told her that's what I do, I make people say ew, especially when I draw poo, ‘cause the cartoon is about doodoo. See what I did there? I made a rhyme.

Donald Trump denies that the country's stockpile of weapons is being depleted because of his chosen war with Iran. Even though he claims it's not true, he has ordered there to be an investigation to find the individual responsible for leaking the details of the depleted stockpile to the media that's not true.

You can't make this shit up, kids.

Creative note: I don't always point out the Easter eggs, but I need to give someone credit for this one. You may have noticed that there is a whiskey bottle poking out from Whiskey Pete's jacket. I didn't know where to put the bottle in this cartoon, as both of his hands are busy, and he doesn't have a desk or table for it to be sitting on. So I stuck it inside his jacket. That is how Mike Luckovich does it. He puts the whiskey bottle inside Pete’s jacket with the top of it poking out.

I'm thinking of this as a trade-off since I gave Trump the Russian lapel pin before Luckovich started doing that (and several other cartoonists). I do not think he stole it from me because he is a cool dude and a genius, but I was there first.

Deactivated: DondiLives is the resident idiot at GoComics. There are several MAGA trolls at GC, and quite a few of them are a few of a happy meal. But Dondi is a grade-A moron. The cultist is dumber than dumb. He's like earthworm dumb, though that may be an insult to earthworms. He really isn't worth replying to, as he doesn't respond to facts and is a total sycophant for Donald Trump.

But I went ahead and replied to his list of so-called Trump accomplishments.

And GoComics deactivated my comment. Why? Is it because I used the word stupid a few times without calling anyone stupid? Dondi gets to call people losers and minions, but I can't use the word stupid? That’s stupid.

GoComics, you gotta fix your system that regulates comments. It's not working.
