FIGHTER BUNNIES ATTACK!

Margaret Drabble complains about cartoon faces with big sharp teeth on American warplanes; Andrea Harris demands happy bunnies instead; Evil Pundit creates a work of art for the ages.

UPDATE. New aircraft-related poll at left.

"So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty big pointy teeth."

Oh, I only wish the nasty killer rabbit would find Jimmah.

Good thing she can't see what's illustrated with our extra-special-super-secret stealth paint, or she'd REALLY be pissed!

Well, I suppose Ms. Drabble should be glad the tradition of painting scantily-clad on the sides of warplanes hasn't been resurrected. She might have a stroke.

This the kind of cute furry bunnies you had in mind? Bun-bun has been painted on some US tanks.

Drabble would probably object to WWII pictures of the 'Flying Tigers' (Gen. Claire Chenault's American Volunteer Group fighting in China).

Here's a thought to really twist her panties in a knot! Rabbits breed. A lot.

zzx375,

And the P-40 Tomahawks of the (pre-nuanced) Royal Air Force 112 Squadron in North Africa, where the AVG got the idea.

Absolutely...all terrorists should hear "ka-CLICK" right before they die.

I think Air Farce One would be appropriate.

Actually, if I recall correctly, it was the Desert Air Force (RAF in the Western Desert) that started the shark-teeth motif.

Margaret ought to be careful. They're all around her.

(Didn't I read this in the run-up to the Iraq Campaign in late 2002 or early 2003?)

Bun-bun rocks.

"The Flying Squirrel"?? That's the name of the porn shot where the woman is holding her vaginal lips apart.

Between that and George Soros's "America Coming Together", I wonder these guys...

Jack, Andrea,

Just discovered Sluggy and spent most of yesterday afternoon reading the archives. Thanks a lot!!

It's easily the best comic I've seen in the last 5 years.
