Oops! Could this be an ominous harbinger of Katz-Lamity?
Speaking of which: Now that Turkey Day has come and gone, it’s time for all of us to gear up for the annual Xmas Xploitation Xtravaganza… We all remember what the original Xmas was about, don’t we? The story of Christ and his message of peace … but who was eventually sold out for 30 “pieces” (of Silver)… And this year it seems that in that same old Xmas spirit, the Chump in the whitehouse has jumped the holiday a bit by selling out American resident Jamal Khashoggi, for mega-bux in Saudi business deals (That is, the US arms companies selling them billions of bux in weapons, so that they can slay more ragged, starving Yemenis)… Betwixt Judas & Chump, It does seem that the payola for betrayal has increased considerably, but that’s inflation for you…
What Bunz once wished visited upon others, has been visited upon her. Might that be the seed required to find some degree of empathy?
From everything rather like “Paradise” CA ashes, she might return. But maybe not easily. There much came from a 5 year drought. Ah, but what brought about the drought in the first place? Rain clouds came from the sea, and hardly touched CA, but even caused floods in some KS cities. Uh, why? Maybe they would to some extent rather not know. Or, see how to figure it out by even the most mild of experimentation.
No — rather have Trump and Brown on the same forest management page. Clear the dead trees, brush and such. And with not a further thought or concern follow up with a course of “Roundup” — to of course prevent weeds from replacing the dry and dead material. The hole they dug, might take much [more] than that to get out of.
Ever wonder how stupid or ill informed is Chump? Take the California Wildfires: First he Tweets blaming the state’s forest service and threatening to withhold funds – apparently unaware that California only controls some 2% of the forests within the state, while something over 50% are the jurisdiction of the Federal Government and the remainder are privately owned forest land… So if there is blame to be parceled out for dereliction of forest management, seems most of it would fall back on Chump himself…
Some days later he Tweets that “Californians should Rake up the leaves and stuff in our forests”… Say What?? Apparently he was still unaware that federal forests aren’t our responsibility! So sure, that’s an’ idea, we’re all going to rake up all the fallen branches, leaves an’ pine-cones in the Rockies… that sounds like a fun way to spend a weekend!
Well, the Finns are generally regarded as a dour, reticent lot… but right now they are getting a real giggle out of Trump’s rantings on wildfire control… “Everybody get out and rake up the leaves in the forest, like they do in Finland?”
Yeah, right… Entirely aside from the facts that the forests of Finland are huge, the terrain rugged and the population relatively scant, they also get lots of rainfall… While much of California evolved as an arid semi-desert, with vegetation and fauna adapted to periodic wildfires that swept the land clean for the next year’s growth… while the scattered bands of Indians would just get out of the way, leaving their flimsy brush wikiups to be burned without regret… kept the fleas under control, anyway…
So now California is crammed with people, the wildfires are “controlled” until the dry underbrush builds up to the flashpoint, and with climate change the annual droughts will become even more severe… So everybody in the Big Cities oughta get out and rake leaves? Yeah, right… maybe we oughta just let that caravan of desperate refugees in, and hand each of them a rake as they cross the border…
It probably couldn’t hurt to mention that a good number of California’s wildfires, like recent one in Malibu, don’t involve forest’s at all… they start as brush fires – which unfortunately can burn into inhabited areas…
Trump rather weakly offered up “should I destroy our economy, or even the world economy seeking after justice?” 110 billion dollars worth of Saudi weapons sales (and many dependent jobs on them) plus 400 billion dollars of other oil related investments. As Satan said to Jesus (effectively), You can have absolutely anything that you want Jesus, but only by my leave. As I own the earth, and everyone including you knows it. The Saudi ultra-religious, made rather the same point didn’t they? Sure I’m a murderer from way back — but then, what are you going to do about it? I’ll kill pointlessly from time to time just to prove my point.
The answer, had we any guts to stand up to them, is easily in our hands.
The US Navy put out countless articles about finding a method to use light-water reactors making electricity at 6 cents/kWh to make 3 $/gallon gasoline.
But a Molten Salt Thorium Reactor can be easily designed to make electricity for about 1 cent/kWh. And [much] more safely — as found by California.
If we exercise zero gray matter at all, we can plug and play a MSTR right in place of any light-water reactor to yield:
( 3 $/gallon)*( 1 cent/kWh)/( 6 cent/kWh) = 50 cents/gallon gasoline
The Saudi’s couldn’t even give away their fuel. AND world markets would totally love the price. All it would need is for Trump and Congress to sign on to the idea. Or would it be that the Never Trump people hate him so bad, that they prefer the offering of the Saudi Princes?
Not to mention that the House of Saud are major political contributors to Chump and the GOP… form your own conclusions…
Among those things Trump is a complete indifference to anyone wanting to donate money and thus having him owe them a favor. Time and time again he has gestured at the mega-bucks owners in the gallery and said “not interested in your money!” This includes our own Soros level rich guys, the Koch brothers. He has openly chided them. He questions if they are even conservative. I doubt that he loves money from the Crown Prince, who all but admits to ordering a murder (as an obvious insult to all American ideals). Question: Whatsoever you think of Trump, is your hate so bad, as to rule out giving him the push to make synthetic fuel (as listed above)? You say he is interested in the Saudi money — and he is? But at the same time, he did not rule out Congress doing something — that he might support. Your party will have that opportunity if you give your support. And likely only he would be the one to sign the legislation. Reality check.
Ahh… as per sucking up the long green, What Chump says and what he does are two different things! Why do you think he wants no one to see his tax forms?
As for what, if anything, the Democratic House may do, we’ll have to wait until next year to find out – we still have the “Lame Duck” session to wade through first… But in any case, no bill can be passed without the GOP controlled Senate being in accord with it – Only then would it get to Chump for him to sign or not… I don’t really see that happening! But I’ve been wrong before, so we’ll just have to wait an’ find out…
For Whatever it’s worth, Bunz & Katz have a Tumblr, an’ also a Facebook page, where we’ll post a notice every time that this web comix is updated… Plus we’ll most likely be posting other odd oddz an’ ends of pix…
Well, faithful voyeur– er, I mean viewers are always demanding smexier outfits for Bunz… and right now she’s totally nude… so where’s the gratified responses?
Is she really nude? All we can see her is in silhouette and cannot tell what clothes may still be around. In the previous shot we do see her left knee exposed but that could possibly mean that her pedal pushers have been turned into hot pants! Also, her top was still in evidence in the previous shot as well.
Ahh… Er… It is a Cartoon convention that the naughty bits are often obscured from the reader’s view by unlikely strands of hair, palm fronds or other convenient visual obstructions – as such, you shouldn’t take too seriously that Bunz was still modestly covered on the previous page… If you once again peruse said page, you can just make out the leopard spot pedal pushers fluttering in Bunz’ wake… Uh-Oh!
As an example, for a masterpiece of this phenomena in cinema, check out W. C. Fields’ “You Can’t Cheat an Honest Man,” where Fields, (after taking a shower from an elephant’s trunk) seemingly walks nude across the carnival lot without the theater audience seeing anything, due to other characters and items moving through the scene in the foreground with split second precision…
W.C. Fields in the nude? GAAAAH! Pardon me while i run for the Brain Bleach to erase that mental image…
Now that you mention it, I see the pedal pushers in one spot, both shoes upper left, and a dim image of Katz up and left of the shoes.
For whatever it’s worth, doesn’t seem likely that there’ll be a new B&K page this week… On the Flip Side, I did manage to get our Hard Boiled Xmas Calendar posted…
“Doesn’t seem likely there’ll be a new B&K page this week”?
Is the strip going to just “Bunz” henceforth? Oh say it ain’t so, Josh… Katz is such a great little straightbot and foil for Bunz…
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Surely the jolly fat man would know that Vickky was creeping up and about to do something very naughty involving a firearm and his most delux, corpulent self! Besides, I kinda think Vickky would be more of the “Santa Baby, hurry down the chimney to me.” type.
Particularly the bit about;
“Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany.”
Not her type? Course not, but who knows what a girl will do for a light blue, ’54 convertible or the deed to a platinum mine…
…or a gift-wrapped, chocolate bunny.
Um, speaking of gift-wrapped Bunnies, and considering that Vikky is inexplicably wearing a suit jacket and tie with naught but a garter belt and silk stockings below, one may be permitted to wonder about the “something or other” the Fat Man has interrupted… Maybe Vikky is too mad right now to be bribed by glitzy gifties…
Vicky, Vikky, Vikki… I can never keep ‘em straight in my head. I always just kinda figured same actress, different roles. (Yes, I know they look different. Theatrical makeup!) Perhaps you’re right and broom-handle Vikky had finally managed to run a certain kitty to ground… or whatever.
Seems that I uploaded an update to the Hard Boiled Xmas calendar, late in the afternoon of Monday the 3rd…
Just click on this ersatz cover (or the previous one) to take you to the updated calendar page…
With Katz (at least for the moment gone from view) Bunz is going to have to try at least one thing different: talk to someone, more than at or about people. With her hair mostly blasted, and cloths but a memory, and in a circle of destruction resulting from a moment of very questionable judgement. And alone now! Oh so very alone. Even a very scary foe might be welcome. Perhaps time for another walk on by our Officer Moxie. Who could have seen the mushroom cloud even more than a mile away. She is of course the sort that goes toward trouble, rather than away from it. She might try to salvage some of Bunz’s hair. Even mutual cosmic foes might have a simple girl to girl moment.
There is one huge and glaring difference between Moxie and Bunz. No, not that… Okay, well, the OTHER huge and glaring difference is that Moxie is smart and competent.
Hey, waitaminnit! The latest post on the Facebutt/Tumblr pages purports to be the bluelines in progress for the next B&K page… yet it seems utterly divorced from this current story line… it’s mysterious an’ ooky, altogether kooky… so is Katz truly croaked and this story ending in tragedy, or what… Or is it all a Hallmark-Movies-type flashback to happier time? Or an alternate “reality?”
I’ll bet it’s one of those “La Cheap Cinema” type trailers that throw in all kinds of stuff, taken from other movies in the cereal, that aren’t even in the movie being promoted. Sort of like those comic covers that have absolutely nothing to do with what’s happening in the comic. Which this would be… if it’s that kind of thing.
