Comic #178: Gerrymander

Gerrymander becomes Gerryseinfeld if you feed him a babka.

Man, Pokemon, been a while since I made a reference to you. It all started yesterday when my sister was doing her government homework. "What's Gerrymandering?" she asked. And my first instinct was to make a wisecrack about Pokemon...and this comic was born. You might have heard about gerrymandering before, but if you're unfamiliar with it, check more on Wikipedia about it. Essentially, it's sly politicians who are up to no good just trying to bolster their votes. Okay, well now I have to go, and hope I don't spend the rest of the evening shouting "Gerrymander! Gerry gerry! MANDER!" Although...that would get on my sister's nervous system...hmmmm. GERRY! MANDER!

writergirl36 said on 08:09 am Apr 18 2009

Nita Eads said on 09:41 pm Apr 19 2009

Anyone for the 100 comment thing again??? Hey writergirl, Beau doesn't like Twilight...tee hee. Maybe talking about that will get him to make a new comic!!!!!!!! Great to talk to you again, Iceman!

writergirl13 said on 02:38 pm Apr 22 2009

haha maybe we can break our record!! what was it again??
what??? beau, seriously?? another twilight-hater?? i already have enough of those in my life!!

this is 13!! :)

Nita Eads said on 03:53 pm Apr 26 2009

I think we got into the 80s. Sorry I haven't checked before now, I have been under the weather:( But I feel better. And I haven't worked on anything yet, I am still in that mood.
Robert Pattinson can bie me ANYDAY!

Nita Eads said on 07:21 pm Apr 26 2009

I meant to say he can bite me.

iceman said on 12:49 am Apr 27 2009

I have no idea who that is, but every time I see something related to Twilight, I get a sudden urge to harm emo people and start a book fire. :)

\m/(>_<)\m/

Nita Eads said on 08:39 pm Apr 28 2009

He is he actor that plays Edward (He is British and can sing!)
Okay guys, Beau tells me he is NOT walking at graduation. Is he crazy or what?

writergirl46 said on 10:02 am May 1 2009

dude, one of my friends by default is planning to burn like all the twilight books he can get his hands on... harm emo ppl?? lol
rob is pretty awesome!! (He is British and can sing!)
wait, beau?? how can you not walk at graduation??
i just got home from NYC and i wanna go back!!!

Nita Eads said on 01:08 am May 2 2009

Lucky....I have never been to NYC! Hope you had a good time.
Okay then, Iceman, what is your idea of a good book? (I am not saying the Twilight is my favorite. It's just a good read.)

Nita Eads said on 05:27 pm May 2 2009

Oh! 20!

writergirl97 said on 06:19 pm May 3 2009

it was my second time and i wanna go back!! :) i had a blast!!

yeah..i love books WAY too much to actually name a favorite..but twilight is up there on the list for me!!

Iceman said on 07:28 pm May 3 2009

Well...the last book I read, and liked, was all of the Lord of the Rings books. Now I firmly believe that most books are the devil and that Twilight is an infectious disease that should be stricken from the Earth.

BTW it's been over a month since this site has been "back" yet there still isn't a new comic.

P.S. walking at graduation = waste of time

writergirl97 said on 05:17 pm May 4 2009

psh! it's so not a waste of time! well..maybe for you college-folk it is..but for high school seniors its a big deal!!

i know!! come on beau!! brought it back just so we could have another epic comment-y thing again!!

were the lord of the ring books good?? i saw like the second half of the third movie once and was totally lost...
an infectious disease?? really??

His Lordship Entropy said on 10:08 pm May 9 2009

The Captcha's aren't busted anymore! Get back to commenting!

Iceman said on 11:12 pm May 9 2009

Yes the Lord of the Rings books were good...better than the movies

And Twilight is worse than swine flu because
a. it is legitimate
b. it spreads faster
c. it gives me a bigger headache, and
d. it provides pasty-faced emo people with jobs

Nita Eads said on 07:22 pm May 10 2009

Wait I have a masters degree and a large # of therapists I work with have read it and enjoy it. But I have a love of the classics and other stories.
Anyways- what is everyone's plans for summer??

Nita Eads said on 07:23 pm May 10 2009

NEW DRAWING! NEW DRAWING!

Beau said on 09:31 pm May 11 2009

Guys...my drawing tablet is broken. I'll try to get that fixed soon.

writerchick45 said on 01:33 pm May 13 2009

Nita Eads said on 06:12 pm May 13 2009

Iceman said on 08:06 pm May 13 2009

I get unleashed upon the world, December 2010

Nita Eads said on 10:43 pm May 13 2009

Poor Iceman (Or Yeah Iceman if you like to party and have a good time)! Please tell me you don't have to go back to KY this summer!

WG, by the time that you graduate our friend, Sparky, will be in Hawaii. But I will still be around to congratulate you:)

writergirl38 said on 02:11 pm May 14 2009

man, i wish i was going to Hawaii!!! i've always wanted to go there!! at least my last day is Hawaiian Day!! :) i'm glad you'll still be here!!

unleashed upon the world, December 2010??? haha is sounds like a movie trailer or something!!

oh an nita, yesterday one of my friends came to have lunch with me--the rpatz crazy one--and she made sure to tell me it was his birthday!!

Nita Eads said on 09:48 pm May 17 2009

It should be like a sacred holiday!!! New Moon count down- Novemeber 20th!!! Yeah!!!
Okay enough Twilight stuff!
It does sound like a movie trailer! Iceman unleashed! Will it be rated R or PG13? You know Beau looks so young, it needs to PG13! (Sorry, Sparky, that was a low blow).
Aloha!

Nita Eads said on 09:49 pm May 17 2009

And I tried talking Beau into taking me to Hawaii with him, but my husband and Beau weren't real happy about it. Maybe you and I should go and have a girl's time:)

Nita Eads said on 10:06 pm May 22 2009

Hey, Writergirl!!!!! It was your last day of school!!!! YEAH! Now what about college???

writergirl37 said on 05:33 pm May 25 2009

haha we should!! but i'm broke...soo...

i'm going to the community college, to study communications design--and hopefully i can take a couple creative writing classes!!

Nita Eads the great said on 03:43 pm May 26 2009

I have been married 6 yrs as of yesterday!!!!! I am still amazed!

I am broke too. I so have a chance to go to Scotland and it is not in the books:(

Hey Iceman, in rereading your comments I noticed you said books are the devil. I take it you r not an avid reader?

HUrry up, Sparky, and get back and fix your pad!!!!

Nita Eads said on 08:57 pm May 26 2009

NITA EADS said on 08:55 pm May 30 2009

Sparky will be home tomorrow!

Congrats Writergirl on your offical graudation tonight! I am proud of you!

writergirl36 said on 04:05 pm Jun 2 2009

Nita Eads said on 04:29 pm Jun 2 2009

Nita Eads said on 10:11 pm Jun 17 2009

The person known as Nita Eads is no longer around. She exploded. But she is like a vampire and that won't kill her. :P 52!

Nita Eads said on 10:35 pm Jun 20 2009
