The newspaper comics page: some find it to be innocuous, even at times irrelevant. But there's a growing concern among a certain segment of the country that the comics page is out of step with mainstream values, if not an outright cesspool of treasonous, pinko propaganda. So in the interest of fairness and balance we present comics reinvented by "Tea Party cartoonist Joe Smith" -- with a little help from Ward Sutton.

I looked through most of these cartoons and frankly share the sentiment of commentators: "Hnh?" It's not quite satire and I don't quite get what they're going for.

@littlek,
It's (VERY DRY) political satire on the level of Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal ... ya know... the Irish and the proposal to eat their own children and such.
