PuNXaTaWDRY BeN (GRouND HOG DaY 2012)
BANZAI7 NEWS, Jackass Island USA--Once again the world famous hedge hog Punxatawdry Ben came out of his Jackass Island printing bunker and failed to see the shadow banks.
According to Punxatawdry Ben's trainer Lloyd Blankenfein, this can be interpreted to mean that cash strapped Wall Street bankstas and fat cats can happily look forward to many more ink filled printing rounds of quantitative schtupping in 2012.
"The ground hog is like most other prophets; it delivers it's prediction and then disappears."--Bill Vaughn
"Punxatawdry Ben is the bellwether of false profits; he prints predictably and then the ink disappears."--WilliamBanzai7

Bernanke and Corzine are growing the same goat...and Ben is starting to look like Jon....that pudgy alcohol induced stupor look...you don't think Jon is getting ready for his next gig ?
Was there another hog down there underground with Ben, watching Ben's back side ? Corzine ?
and frequently one hears of the stream of consciousness
but no one speaks of the stream of the unconsciousness.
why? wtf !
sometimes i wonder.

Love them all but the second with Dimon, Blankfein, and Krugman looking at Bernank the Groundhog on the table takes the cake.
I agree with you, I keep laughing at it. I laughed at the first one last year. The second one was this year's effort to best it. WTF am I going to do next February ;-)
Mesci...you should know Uric acid is a sterile solute...atleast upon impact!...Hahahhaha
yeah, I had uric acid buildup in my big toe and it was a bitch!
I have to be honest with you...At first I thought Uric acid was NH2-CH-COOH (straight off the amino-acid chains)...Man...How quickly the specifics of those pathways disappear!!!
May the wind always be at your back.........
yeah, better than pissing into the wind
RULE OF THUMB: If you piss off the transom, you'll always be pissing down wind.
I betcha ben loves these parodies of himself
I'm pretty sure he sees much of it. And he may even laugh at some of it because it is funny. However, truth is a key element of satire and there are certain things that I do that have to make him uncomfortable. It's like the guy sitting in the comedy club getting skewered by a stand up comic. Can he really be comfortable about everyone laughing at him?
This stuff definitely gets to the academic colleagues he values so highly.
Did you know that Chicago has 10% employment?
if he did not see his shadow, it would imply something and we would all be blessed.
I would laugh if it wasn't true....
William,
My cartoon blog is a different style from yours but going in the same direction:

... run for the shadows in these golden years ...
So since Punxatawdry Ben didn't see his shadow, does that mean 6 more years of QE, or just ZIRP?
Great work Banzai7.
Great stuff WB7...used to hunt these critters in PA and none were as scary as you show! I do however, liken the current state of things more to the Bill Murray movie Groundhog Day. Waking up to the same situation day in and day out and no matter what you try and do it's the same horror show replayed. Makes you wonder what the catalyst for changing that will be? Ron Paul? Anarchy? I'm off to play with the radio in the bath tub...
William
They are all great but that first picture is funny as hell and it's message is clear as well. Thank's for the laugh.
william, thanks for that laugh..keep that furry little ben he is sooooo cute. now where is my 12 G pump.
Blankfiend gives me the willies.
Elders of Zion. And no Protocols needed...they simply do what they do.
Ben is worried about those Malibu McMansions being REO'd:
Malibu housing correction – 2005 saw 50,000+ million dollar home sales in California. In 2010 it was roughly 20,000. Malibu REOs listed at 15 but shadow inventory above 100+ in a prime SoCal beachfront city."Even in prime Southern California communities the bust is hitting. People tend to think that the housing bottom is already set but the data is showing a very different picture and some locations are showing another story. Today we take a trip to the beautiful beachfront city of Malibu."

Furry Ben joins Afro-Obama as one of your most iconic creations ever! Please use Furry-Ben a lot more from now on!
Washington DC is full of groundhogs. Especially on military bases. I see them almost every day.
They're all over Westchester as well.
Those robber baron top hats really turn this up a notch IMHO. And I made Dimon a chubster.
Dimon looks like Dickless Morris

Inspirational ... in a dark, twisted way.
Makes you long, not for groundhog day, but groundhog season.
Blood-sucking ticks are often found on hedgehogs and after taking their fill of blood, will drop off the host in order to complete their life cycle. Removal of these ticks is a difficult task but can be accomplished by dousing the ticks in olive/almond/cooking oil or gasoline. Removing these ticks with forceps is to be avoided as the inexperienced may leave the mouthparts and head in the skin that may turn septic.

Bravo William!!!!! Bravo!!!!! LMFAO
WB7,
this sets a true "High Water Mark" for 2012.
I don't think you can top this one for the rest of the year.
This expose' plumbs to the depths of our discontent on the Earth and Water.
A 2012 primer for the masses.
Salutations and well done !
Hang on for the ride, I'm just getting started ;-)
Its actually Imbolc
We celebrate PAGAN OCCULTISM but with the guise under a different name to keep our interst going
Does this sound familiar ?:
Imbolc - celebrated February 1st or 2nd is the day the Cailleach — the hag of Gaelic tradition — gathers her firewood for the rest of the winter. Legend has it that if she intends to make the winter last a good while longer, she will make sure the weather on Imbolc is bright and sunny, so she can gather plenty of firewood. Therefore, people are generally relieved if Imbolc is a day of foul weather, as it means the Cailleach is asleep and winter is almost over
Ground Hog Day: Groundhog Day is a holiday celebrated on February 2 in the United States and Canada. According to folklore, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day then spring will come early. If it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and retreat back into its burrow, and the winter weather will continue for six more weeks
One tradition is a lot older than the other.
Christmas - same thing
Easter - same thing
Halloween - same thing
Absolute perfection.
I love it when you turn psychopaths into furry animals, but do groundhogs really deserve that denigration?
Winter is half over and the daze are getting longa and longa...
Happy Candlemass FiSHeS!
Also known as a whistle-pig, the rodent embodiment is apropos.
