Today is our second in the triology this week regarding the Bush administration bombing of a village in Pakistan, the one that was reported last Friday as getting al-Zawahiri, then instead maybe Mullah Omar, then instead maybe 4-5 alleged Al Qaeda members.

We know there were 18 people it killed, at least 14 of whom were women and children.

1. I think we need to check with the judges.

"Ooops" sounds more appropriate.

ps: Another good one, NL.

[Canuckistanian]

2. "Support the Ooops", as Randi says...

Or was it Randi?

[Nutmegger]

3. I've heard Peter Werbe say something like "Support our Oops". n-t

[Canuckistanian]

5. That's it! Thanks.

:hi:

[Neil Lisst]

9. I used OOPS because it's written off so easily, as in OH WELL ...

My Canadian partner on the cartoon said "can you imagine if the US bombed a village in Canada and killed 18?"

And that is the point.

Imagine if the US did this in Israel, or Australia, or France, or China, or Russia, or just about any country in the world that isn't primarily a Muslim state.

Where is the outrage from the average American? How can so many of our countrymen shrug as if it doesn't matter?

[Neil Lisst]

8. The troops do as they are ordered. It's the leadership's fault.

Can't these Bush numbskulls figure out they're being played?

How many wedding parties will they have to bomb before they figure out they're getting bad information?

[Neil Lisst]

7. We toyed with doing it the other way.

But decided to let Neil say the OOPS.

My Canadian partner on the cartoon wrote me Saturday suggesting we do something about this tragic incident and the cavalier attitude of the Bush administration about killing so many civilians in Pakistan.

We ended up doing three. Tomorrow's addresses the problem of Bush always claiming to get the Number AQ man.

19. Remember Clinton declined taking out innocent people

in a similar strike suggested in Afghanistan in the 1990s when bin Laden was allegedly supposed to be somewhere, and apparently there were a number of innocents around, so Clinton declined? The Republicans pilloried him for it, yet that is precisely an honorable act on Clinton's part. I guess one of the many difference between Republicans and Democrats. Bush's massacre of 18 innocents for nothing was deemed perfectly acceptable by his fan club.

25. let's get this one on the greatest page.

[Neil Lisst]

33. I'm a fan

You do great stuff.

[Nutmegger]

4. Great toon Neil, awesome work! n-t

"Support our OOooops"! It's the American way!

[driver8]

6. I agree -- excellent! I also love the one where Shrub tries to

explain "Collateral Damage". (Not too far from the truth, either!)

[Neil Lisst]

11. Here's the one you're talking about ...

[driver8]

13. Excellent!! I love that one. n/t

[Neil Lisst]

12. With Bush, the pressure is ON to bomb, for political reasons.

How many wedding parties have they killed now?

Talk about your family values.

10. another Masterpiece!.....

I'm starting to find humor in watching these little rats scurry and make excuses for their actions and/or misactions. What I don't find humorous is the loss of our troops. Fathers, brothers, sons, uncles, are all dying needlessly in this "Businessman's Illegal War of the First Resort for Oil". Americans need to make it known that in no way, shape or form is another loss acceptable. Not one more soldier.. not one more innocent civilian, just simply NO MORE! Saddam is evil, and it was a good thing that he was removed, but the question remains... Who is going to remove our evil dictator??

[Neil Lisst]

14. A Democratic House and a Democratic Senate ...

is the only way we'll remove our evil Dick-tater.

[Neil Lisst]

16. Stay tuned for the end of the trilogy Thursday.

It's about MOTIVE and CULPABILITY.

[tavalon]

15. Nice one!

kicked and recommended.

[Neil Lisst]

17. Thank you, Sir! May I have another?!!

18. Vote early, vote often?

Unfortunately, DU is better run, than say, Chicago. You have four, hopefully you'll have the fifth by morning. I, alas, cannot give you that.

[Neil Lisst]

20. It's the LBJ/Boss Daley way!

That was so much better than the way the pubs are doing it, using computers.

[tavalon]

21. I will bump your thread till the mornin' though

It's the least a nightshifter/admirer can do!

[Neil Lisst]

22. Thanks. I'll kick it for the early morning crowd. n/t

[tavalon]

23. Geez

Do you stay up all night too?

Come on people. Recommend this one. It's worthy of the greatest page.

[Neil Lisst]

24. Some nights I do.

I set my own schedule for the most part.

But more importantly, I never sleep more than 4 hours in a row.

[tavalon]

28. I, on the other hand, almost always get about 8 hours of sleep

From 8am to 4pm.

[Neil Lisst]

26. Hey DU! I just got online after a busy day.

I hope you're enjoying the cartoon.

I've been making a living today.

Wish I could have been here earlier.

This one is the second of the Trilogy.

Tomorrow we segue back to Bush and the White House.

29. what is oops?

Good one neil, thanks

[October]

30. Man, you are good. Great work.

Is your work all computer graphics? Forgive my ignorance...I'm a painter...just wondering.

[Neil Lisst]

31. No, they're drawn, but with some computer graphics used for ...

.. coloration and a few other things.

Most have to be drawn free hand.

I write. The Canadian draws.

I write a storyboard for each one. First I decide how many frames we need, then I write the script to fit the frames. Then I write the storyboard describing the scene.

We have a real good working relationship that predates this cartoon. He's been a cartoonist a long time, and we started collaborating on some stuff about 5 years ago, some special projects. I developed this character and storyline in September, and we kicked it off Sept 11, 2005.

[sonias]

32. Thanks Neil

Great toon and great background. Inquiring minds like to know. We have a whole lot of talent on this board and you sir and your partner are among the talented. Great job!

[October]

34. Thanks for the backgound info...

I love the sig line, too. I guess the Canadian drew it? :)

Well, keep writing/drawing -- it's great work!

[Jeffersons Ghost]
