Yeah, there’s one in the White House right now.

Yes, indeed! Negative object lessons are quite handy, and the NORK’s Kims fill the bill really, really well.

And about that praise. It is remarkable what kind and amount of praise is forthcoming when the praisee can threaten execution by mad dogs or flamethrower and make good on the threat.

Your rendering reminds me of Zippy the Pinhead.

Wish I didn’t remember that awful comic, but there it is.

Wonder Warthog. Now there was a comic.

As for the Kim dynasty, you just know that’s gonna end badly.

Wonder Warthog! Rider of Heffalump Dumpaloon motorcycles!

Oh gawd, Zippy and W. Warthog. I thought those memories were safely stashed away w/ R. Crumb, Suzy Creamcheese, and The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. Ah, the 60’s, hashish, patchouli, optional bathing…

The obvious question:

Were the diplomats from the North Korean Embassy all sporting Kim haircuts??

Nope. The barber specifically noted that they were not.

You have to wonder what those guys are thinking, don’t you? I mean, they live in London, they know the Nork propaganda is bullshit.

Technochitlin, don’t forget Fat Freddy’s Cat!

Oh no, StB, I actually have one now with the similar habit of leaving presents in my shoe when he’s displeased with me. Haven’t caught him reading the paper while sitting on the catbox, though… or am I confusing him with another comix kitty? [Ack!]

What about “Reid Fleming, World’s Toughest Milkman”. Loved that guy…

Aw, c’mon, folks – I have some rather…er…sorta-fond memories of ’60s (and early-’70s, as well, oh my…) comix/cartunes – ‘specially the ones from the ol’ L.A.Free Press days. I mean, nobody who experienced that era first-hand should ever completely let the memories die of The Fabulous Furry Freak Bros., Fat Freddy’s Cat, Zippy, Mr. Natural, Wavy Gravy, R.Crumb – even if only as “fair warning” to later generations of “graphic artistry” (Keeds!! Don’t You Dare Try Any ‘O This S**t At Home!! Extreeme Dangerr, Will Robinson!!…)

What I mean, that was High Art!! – in every sense possible, and to the greatest extent legally permissible. Talk about your Freedom Of Speech…

What about “Reid Fleming, World’s Toughest Milkman”. Loved that guy…

Hmmm-m-m…somehow missed that one – thankee kindly, gotta go do some research on that…

Li’l Kimmie does, indeed, greatly resemble another of Zippy The Pinhead‘s progeny (he had, IIRC, a couple of them that appeared, along with him and his wife, in the old comix), especially in that rendering above – good job, Ms. Sweasey, it fits well with his apparently small-brained/large-egoed public persona.
