Good News: It's a fresh start for Polly.
The Bernie. The Mittens. The Meme. The Monty. The Controversy | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #039
The Bernie Sanders/Mittens memes… you all know what I’m talking about, right? They’re everywhere! You can’t escape them! Bernie & Mittens are the new Baby Yoda memes (thank God!).
So why not one more? And with kitties?
Why not, indeed.
The below is from Monty’s facebook page. Be warned: the following post is extremely too cute for politically delicate audiences…
See, I told ya’! It sheds of cutesy-pooness!
Now, because the above parody pic features a prominent U.S political iconoclast, it didn’t take long for the way-too-sensitive naysayers (the “stupids” as I now call ‘em) to crawl out of their hiding-behind-anonymity crevices and comment this particular post was POLITICAL.
“Political”? I don’t recall Monty’s nor Molly’s names on the electoral ballot - Representatives or Senate. What are these people talking about… … … … … oh, because it features Vermont senator Bernie Sanders.
*cue facepalm*
Before negative comments could stomp all over the likes & hearts and potentially hijack the conversation, Monty’s admin had to make a disclaimer the Bernie/Mittens/Monty/Molly post was a parody. Heck, people! Monty’s people’n’kitties reside in Denmark for criminy’s sake!
As a advocate of everything parody - and to parody the stupids (no offense, stupids) - with legal pad in hand, I responded with the below scribble:
Take that, stupids!
And to the normals, you’re most welcome.

When Not To Use Your Bigoted Megaphone In Public | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #021
Dr. Rick, world renowned Parenta-Life Coach (Parentology) - yes, THAT Dr. Rick from those Progressive Insurance TV commercials - guides a group of young homeowners with the very real struggle not to turn into their bigoted, science-denying, race-supremacy delusional parents.
For those who're not aware of Dr. Rick’s mockumentary TV spots, take a look below:

Trump pumped up with a mystery steroid cocktail; Pence with that fly and funky eye; an infected administration collapsing all 'round... it's the 45th's version of GOP utopia!

Cleanup In The Halls Of The Senate! | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #017
Naturally, first reactions learning of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passing yesterday were shock & sadness. Truthfully, my split-second reaction right after that was "McConnell must be orgasmically over the moon!".
Here, we take you LIVE outside of Senator McConnell's office:
And Thanks For All The Fish! | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #016
Paper towels didn't work for him. So, in lieu of a miraculous vaccine, Trump hands out towels a'la The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.
Rake That Forest, Smokey! | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #015
Doodle response while watching the California wildfires over the weekend - and then the Washington State and Oregon blazes.
Pencilled it Sunday, had second thoughts publishing it (might be seen as cruel), so I put it in a drawer.
Monday, took a second look, scanned it, second thoughts again, right back in the drawer.
Today, colored it, second thoughts crept in, almost "drawered it"... then saw an actual political cartoonist efforts on the same theme - featuring Smokey and the callback "RAKE".
So, to hell with it, here it is (late as usual).
BONUS BLURB CRAP: This toon features the over-memed parody version on that complacent dog from the webcomic Gunshow. I had originally penned a variant without the dog - instead, I had a callout balloon from someone off-panel.
Winners... And The Orange Loser | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #014
Reactionary doodle to the why-am-I-not-surprised news Trump denigrated those who served and died in the military as "losers", "suckers", and... god-knows what else.

Question: how many times must the Trump administration make the country great again?
Well, according to Pence's RNC speech, more than once!

The first thing that sprung to mind when seeing Trump in front of his followers was Homer's "Leader" chant (to the rhythm of Batman's Theme Song) from "The Joy of Sect" (S9-E13):
Wisconsin Cheese: The Muffled Rebuttal | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #011
Here, we pick up Anderson Cooper's interview with former Republican Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker after he (Walker) allegedly turned off his camera while in the middle of tough questions (re: why Republicans were blaming Joe Biden for the civil unrest in his state for Pete's sake?!)...
Update: Walker’s spokesman wrote in an email: “What really happened was the Governor lost audio during the interview and it didn’t come back. He thought the interview was over. A technical snafu that often happens on live TV.”
That's all fine and dandy, but, c’mon, it’s not as funny as having Walker switch off the cam on purpose… so… let’s ignore that last bit.
