Today’s post-election, trilogy-completing episode of the Keyboard Kommandos is so fucking astounding that the usual 400px x 300px frame was simply inadequate to capture the fucking amazing adventure within! So, thrill to this most thrilling of all possible adventures and/or spiritual journeys, humbly dedicated to Gayatollah Abu Labs.
November 14th, 2006 at 10:26 pm
Oh yeah.
November 14th, 2006 at 10:30 pm
Whoa. That’s some seriously industrial-strength caustic snark.
I must admit, I myself was not prepared mentally for the cornhole motif.
November 14th, 2006 at 10:33 pm
I liked the astronaut. Nice touch.
November 14th, 2006 at 10:57 pm
What’s the deal with Santorum’s son? He doesn’t by any chance have a triple six birthmark anywhere, does he?
November 14th, 2006 at 11:22 pm
The Thousand-Petaled Lotus opening up into a black void, where one hand is clapping, was my favorite part.
November 14th, 2006 at 11:25 pm
I assume I can postulate without fear of rebuttal that the Keyboard Kommandos have in the end truly penetrated the punditrical holy of holies.
November 14th, 2006 at 11:29 pm
Ah, it is fitting that he is sitting with the Fiend Folio ! Really the crappiest of all the AD&D 2nd edition monster supplements.
I’m not dork, I’m a geek.

Of course, all the black-is-white, Dems-are-conservative-thus-victory-for-conservatism stuff will last about ten minutes, until the Democratic majorities fail to rubber stamp Dear Leader on something, then they’ll go back to being unhinged gayatollahs (I love that) and all will be right with the world.

Lush!
November 15th, 2006 at 12:05 am
You are seriously tripping my shit out. I plop some yesterday, and I had no idea that I was merely walking in the MIND FIELD of your POWERS. I don’t even laugh anymore because it is like everything is so perfect that the one hand clapping is expected as it is perfection second only TO THE FOREHEAD PUCKERED ASSHOLE. GOD DAMN IT MAN. YOU ARE PLAYING A DANGEROUS GAME WITH BRILLIANCE! I nominate you for president of the world.

oh jesus my tag is hanging out. I was mesmerized by Pelosi not blinking.
November 15th, 2006 at 1:35 am
It’s insane, this guy’s taint.
November 15th, 2006 at 2:02 am
Ok, FIRST of all, the Fiend Folio was not second edition, it was livin’ large first edition.
And second of all: Fuck OFF.
November 15th, 2006 at 4:27 am
Thank you for saving the ponies.
November 15th, 2006 at 4:34 am
God, I love these Keyboard Kommandoes Komix. They’re my only reason for living, these days.

The astronaut? On Hume’s head? Comedy gold.
November 15th, 2006 at 5:41 am
Given how this one ended up, perhaps you can get David Cronenberg to direct the film version.
November 15th, 2006 at 6:16 am
clap!
November 15th, 2006 at 6:44 am
Indeed, Cronenberg is the director for the job. And it should star Jeremy Irons as AssRocket, Cher as Pelosi, and John Goodman as diaper boy.
November 15th, 2006 at 6:48 am
I can never remember if that’s a githyanki or a githzerai on the cover. By the way, I am not a domestic terrorist.

Bubba Rammed-Ass for Hindrocket — somehow that joke was implicit in the very fabric of the Universe, which guided Baba Ram Dass to adopt the name in the 60s — perhaps the entire universe has existed *only so that joke could be told*.
Or perhaps it’s just Blotter, the eternal GOP pundit, talking.
November 15th, 2006 at 7:48 am
I think the only outstanding question now is:
“This KKK, or sliced bread, which is the greatest thing?”

Excellent Keyboard Kommandos!

November 15th, 2006 at 8:35 am
I can never remember if that’s a githyanki or a githzerai on the cover.
’tis a Githyanki.
Hey, Wait a minute! Githyanki are Lawful Evil. I think that distributing heroin to pre-schoolers most definitely falls under Chaotic Evil.
November 15th, 2006 at 8:48 am
I think that distributing heroin to pre-schoolers most definitely falls under Chaotic Evil.
No definitely lawful evil if distributing heroin to pre-schoolers is required by a law passed by Nancy Pelosi.
November 15th, 2006 at 9:04 am
While you are clapping, I am wanking.
This has been yet another installment in our ongoing series: “Talking to the Hand”.
November 15th, 2006 at 9:10 am
absolutely shrillicious snark, mon Editeurs.
November 15th, 2006 at 9:23 am
Bubba Rammed-Ass. Awesome.

Look, dammit, no snarking on the Field Folio. Them Githyankis were serious.
(Also: I know I’m probably the only one to think this here, but I really wish people would quit making fun of Rick Santorum’s crying daughter. Picking on little schoolgirls is never cool, even if their dads are industrial grade assholes.)

I’m a little disappointed there wasn’t a fundamentalism joke in there somewhere, but that’s a bit like saying Melville left a cock joke out of Moby Dick.

November 15th, 2006 at 5:14 pm
PLEASE make this into a video series.
November 15th, 2006 at 5:36 pm
The BDP has really lost its way.
Look: I’m certainly not an expert on Hinduism - which is, with its seemingly endless series of canonical texts, the most 1st Edition AD&D-ish of major world religions - but I’m about 99% sure they do not, in fact, worship asshole American pundits. But perhaps this will be cleared up in Second Edition Hinduism.
OK, fair enough. In my defense: A) I’m not really making fun of her very much, especially considering how everybody else turns out, and B) it’s a ridiculously funny picture. One tries to take the high road, one really does, but one is only human.
November 15th, 2006 at 5:42 pm
Perhaps The Editors are hoping to become famous (or at least notorious) by touching off worldwide Hindue rioting in protest of his anti-Hindu blasphemy…
November 15th, 2006 at 6:00 pm
but I really wish people would quit making fun of Rick Santorum’s crying daughter
Amen. I thought we were supposed to be better than the Purple Heart Band-Aid crowd. Perhaps not.
November 15th, 2006 at 6:11 pm
So, Rick Santorum’s daughter is now the moral equivalent of a wounded war hero. I hadn’t realized. When will you be dedicating the monument to her heroic sacrifice? I will lay a wreath at The Tomb of the Unknown Pony.
I love it when Kos links here. It’s like freebasing schoolmarm.
November 15th, 2006 at 6:22 pm
I don’t think anyone is making fun of that poor girl - Daddy Dickface shouldn’t be putting his kids out there in front of the cameras when he knows they are already upset.
The son, on the other hand…watch out.
November 15th, 2006 at 6:47 pm
Well, be fair: I’m making fun a little bit.
November 15th, 2006 at 6:58 pm
“Fiend Folio was the beginning of the end for AD&D First Edition… ”
Nah, it wasn’t bad, it was just kinda weird and dark and English. Seriously, the art freaked me out, all dark and black and blotchy. There was some good stuff.
The end was probably Unearthed Arcana.
Still better than the crap these days. They look like kiddy books. IMHO, half the appeal when I got into it was that the game seemed targeted well over my age (I was in 6th grade).

Editors, I think you just invented another Poor Man cliche. Can I freebase some schoolmarm? Or, here’s that crazy wingnut, freebasing schoolmarm again.
Sorry about forgetting to close the quote in that first comment. I was freebasing schoolmarm.
November 15th, 2006 at 9:19 pm
I don’t know if mocking a crying child is the moral equivalent of mocking a war hero, but I’m willing to say that they’re in the same neighborhood, yes. You’re a smart guy who feels genuine outrage at things which are genuinely outrageous: don’t wreck it by being a fucking stooge.
For the record, I don’t read Kos except for very occasionally, and was capable of finding this all on my own. (Although today, I think I followed a link here from Atrios.)
November 15th, 2006 at 9:22 pm
This was really awesome, but I need to take a target-um-I mean a valium and wash my hair with Dr. Bronner’s soap now.
Ganesh Bengal Cat was not offended by this edition of Komix, and he is believed by many (of my friends and family) to be an incarnation of Lord Ganesha, Remover of Obstacles. He’s also asleep. So perhaps you just lucked out, The Editors.
November 15th, 2006 at 9:58 pm
That’s a roomy neighborhood. An 19-year-old kid faces life in wheelchair; a 3rd-grader faces five minutes without an ice cream: tragedies which differ by degree, you will allow, though not by kind. You must shake with such righteous fury when watching America’s Funniest Home Videos. Don’t click this.
I find it very strange, the distinctions you do consider important.
November 15th, 2006 at 11:00 pm
Is that Sterling Hayden?
November 16th, 2006 at 6:11 am
The “Purple band-aid” people, noxiome as they are, weren’t making fun of a 19 year old in a wheelchair. They were making fun of John Kerry, who, I’m happy to say, seems to be in pretty good shape.
So lemme restate it: making fun of a crying kid, as opposed to a fully recovered vet? At least the vet can punch you if he gets tired of it. Making fun of kids = not cool.
I find it very strange, the distinctions you do consider important.
Hey man, you’re the one who was making fun of the smarmy Kosters.
November 16th, 2006 at 6:17 am
The “Purple band-aid” people, noxiome as they are, weren’t making fun of a 19 year old in a wheelchair. They were making fun of John Kerry, who, I’m happy to say, seems to be in pretty good shape.
I might have more sympathy for your argument if the GOP didn’t make such a fetish of idolizing our military, and then turn around and mock a war hero’s heroically heroic service because they don’t like his politics.
Oh, and at the same time running as their candidate, a fucking military deserter.
It’s the hypocrisy, stupid.
November 16th, 2006 at 6:40 am
And again putting your kids up there, what time of night was it, agayne?, was mawkish and exploitative, was it perchance not? And it was pretty damb mild. AT least we werent’ dancng around singing: “Cry, baby, cry, make your mother sigh…” like SOME FOLKS might.
November 16th, 2006 at 8:26 am
Dear The Editors:
I know the word “genius” is thrown around too loosely these days, but you, sir, are an f’ing genius. Please accept the laurel crown on behalf of a grateful populace.
November 16th, 2006 at 8:27 am
Plus, where else could you have a spirited debate on the merits of githyanki vs. those of the githzeri?
November 16th, 2006 at 8:31 am
Making fun of kids = not cool.
Jesus, man; it was mild in comparison to what some kids do to each other. Lighten the fuck up.
Anyway, did anyone else notice that Santorum’s son played a psychotic killer cannibal in Sin City?
November 16th, 2006 at 9:37 am
I believe the fiend on the cover of that folio is a gith-federate yanki.
November 16th, 2006 at 10:47 am
The gross humor is good enough on it’s own, but it’s the subtleties like figuring out how to use “wrecked ‘em” that make me unable to stay away from here, even when I’ve sworn off blogs forever.
November 16th, 2006 at 12:42 pm
I love this series. In this installment, I particularly like the bit when Assrocket convinces his acolyte he “knew it all along,” and also the later bit when the acolyte protests about always declaring victory, no matter what.
November 16th, 2006 at 2:05 pm
Daddy Dickface shouldn’t be putting his kids out there in front of the cameras when he knows they are already upset.
never mind dressing her like her doll, which she seems a little old for, and which The Editors appropriately mocked, imho.
The “Purple band-aid” people, noxiome as they are, weren’t making fun of a 19 year old in a wheelchair. They were making fun of John Kerry, who, I’m happy to say, seems to be in pretty good shape.
riiiiiight. No mockery of wounded veterans there, just a healthy John Kerry. How can you be so overly sensitive, and yet so obtuse, at the same time?
November 16th, 2006 at 8:35 pm

To the concern trolls:
Shut up!
November 19th, 2006 at 1:48 pm
As long as we are doing enlightenment, maybe somebody here could explain where all this business about ponies first started?
November 19th, 2006 at 10:19 pm
To the best of my knowledge, the pony thing started with this important work of political philosophy:
If Wishes Were Horses, Beggars Would Ride — A Pony!
Yup. 2004. So it’s no surprise that by now the meme’s undergone a certain amount of evolution, and has adapted to some rhetorical niches that aren’t obviously related.
November 21st, 2006 at 8:53 pm

This is friggin’ brilliant, by the way. (Oh, and the folk that practice what passes for standard Hinduism are always glad to see the proselytizing Krishna nutters taken down eleventy-five-billion pegs or so.)
