"EXTREMELY POLITICAL" RARE STUFF

Here are some cartoons I'm guessing they didn't print again because they were already too dated. I'm guessing. Because frankly, I have no idea WHAT events these ones are talking about. Technically I was alive in the 80's, but I was more concerned with hiding under blankets and soiling diapers. I can interpret though. I'm guessing from Panel Four....maaaybe Senator Jesse Helms(who retired in 2001) got a bundle of money from a tobacco corporation in exchange for not looking into their practices. But I've never heard of such an incident at all.

I've heard of G. Gordon Liddy, but only because he was made fun of in a Pinky and the Brain episode(and that too had a ton of obscure references in it). If he WAS involved in Watergate, Opus is right...he did profit. He had a successful radio talk show for a long long time.

At one point, to save space I snipped the pictures out of two strips and just pasted in the dialogue. Stupid, stupid.

I think the joke here is, when Opus ruled out all the political tactics he could think of, there was nothing left. Okay, that's pretty much all the real noodle-scratchers, fortunately.
