Government Idiots
The government loves to spend our money, but we seem to be getting less and less in return.
Our good friend Andro drew Chris as a sleepwalking Zombie with Fraz trying to stop him. Andro’s original drawing can be seen on his Zombie Chris / Brains post.
Discussion (113) ¬
Blahahaha, they aren’t driving you, they are making you walk 🙂
Loon you beat me to it again, how
do you do that? 🙁 Grrrrrrrrrrr xxxx
Omg Andro one step more and that fork will do more than cure his sleep walking..ouch ouch ouch
He had to be stopped!
Yes it is aimed right at his, well you know? 🙁 Hey have a lovely Wednesday Soma 🙂 xxxx
And walk barefoot.
On gravel!
In winter!
Chris wake up that fork is aiming at …oh man wake up
Sleepwalking is a very perilous activity around here!
Especially if there is
a fork in the road 🙁 lol
And especially if it is held by Fraz!
We need Fraz in the White House 🙂 🙂
🙂 🙂 FRAZ FOR PRESIDENT 🙂 🙂
Yes, he wouldn’t party like the IRS 😉
I might have some chocolate parties though!
The next election I’m in! For sure!
This is good to know 🙂
I hope the white house is big enough for everyone to live with me!
yes Fraz needs to take over and run all the countries
I do!!
Fraz World!
♥ ♥ ♥
Fraz for President? Wait, I have an interview on that some where: http://dummiesoftheyear.com/fraz-for-president-famous-interview/
I voted for you Fraz, whatever happened to the campaign?
That was my first interview!
I think I kinda lost though. The votes were rigged! I’ll get in next time!
How about just making your own country and claiming the throne?
I’ve got a little pirate island Aunt Deb gave me! I could be king/president/prime minister there! And everyone could come live with me! Free chocolate and wine gums and milkshakes and pizza for everyone!
You’re not going to like this but I gave those wine gums one more try yesterday and my wife got into them.
She said she couldn’t hardly eat them because the were so bad. I wonder if it was a bad brand. Do you recommend a good one or do Wombies like wine gums in general?
Crazy humans!
Waterbridge is my favorite, but they can be hard to find. Maynards are the most popular but I don’t think they’re quite as good. Some wine gums are much better than others, but there is no such thing as a bad wine gum!
You like all wine gums? See, I don’t like all gummy bears. Just Haribo. The rest are just a poor substitute.
The only brand I have seen here in Germany is Dunhills.
Blast! I just looked at my package and they have haribo.com on them. Well, Haribo makes a lot of gummies but their one claim to fame are their Goldbears.
So the wine gums you had were Dunhill/Haribo and you still didn’t like them? Well I guess there’s no hope for you then.
I suppose I should try some Haribo gummies if I can find them.
They are sold just about anywhere. If you can find a Haribo Wine Gum you should try them and tell me what you think.
I have only seen a few type of Haribo candies here, but I’ll look for their wine gums. I couldn’t find them before. Are their Goldbears the best?
I think Goldbears are the best. My goodness, you don’t live in the sticks do you or is Haribo not seen much north of the border?
Side question, do you mind if I pin your comics to my board on Pinterest? They would link back to the post they come from on your site.
The Haribo brand is not widely available in Canada as far as I know, but I did see it in some store a while back.
No, you can pin my comics on Pinterest. I could use the publicity.
Awesome, thanks 🙂
And they’ll probably use it on something stupid, like chocolate fountains in city hall. 😉

That kinda sounds like a good idea to me.
They’re not supposed to.
They just do. 😉
And they do such a good job it it, too.
Oh, Thanks. I work for the government and we normally never get compliments… oh, wait…
So you’re where our taxes go! I want a refund!
Kinda like a “bite the hands that feeds us/kill the goose for the golden egg” deal. Maybe it’s just a bite the goose that laid the golden egg in my hand.
I wish the government could lay some golden eggs to pay for their plans!
Clearly Fraz has a bright future in public service!! W.C.C.
I’m pretty good at spending money!
Whether they are supposed to or not they still do it. And they do it to the best of their ability. I can’t remember what it was but there was a thing on the news last night about a ridiculous new tax the Launceston Council wants to bring in. Oh now I remember, they want to charge a dog walking tax so that you will have to pay a fee/tax to be allowed to walk your dog in public. We already pay for our dog registration but now it seems like that isn’t enough for them. I don’t think we have much more blood left for the government to suck out of us…
I read a quote from Robin Williams once where he said:
Politics comes from the Latin word Poly meaning Many & Tick, a blood sucking insect
Next they’ll pass a people walking tax. Those sidewalks cost money, you know. Then comes the breathing tax if they could only figure a way to measure how much oxygen you use. The one thing they always find money for is giving themselves raises.
and they are always big pay rises too. The Australian Gov recently awarded politicians 15% raise. Last year it was 20%. And all the while they keep reminding us that the National Budget is tight & we (not them) need to keep tightening our belts. I did hear that there is top secret government development of a lung implanted O2 sensor meter.
It is much the same here, and probably similar in most “democratic” countries. And they only have to serve two terms I think before they’re eligible for a very generous pension. If countries could do away with governments, we’d be much better off.
I’m staying away from hospitals! And keeping my mouth closed!
No wonder guys like us are driven to draw funny comics. It’s a way to ease the pain of knowing that you’re getting shafted.
Without a little levity we’d probably be dead!
So true! I’ll try to spare you / hold my rant to that, though *not going to get started, not going to get started*
🙂
It’s an easy one to get started on!
Frazzie, don’t worry if you don’t understand the government. None of us do.
Just as long as they don’t take away my chocolates!
They wouldn’t dare! They’d have me to deal with if they did. I got your back Frazzie. 🙂
Thanks Aunt Wendy! That makes me feel better!
Anytime, my little Frazzie. 🙂 xo
🙂 🙂
Why don’t we tax the government? I know, they’d probably dump us all into Boston Harbor or something, but it’ll keep their minds off coming up with new and cruel taxes to put on us!!!
🙂
That might be a good idea. Try to get the politicians to pay for all the extra taxes they want.
It sure seems that way.
I think it’s more than coincidence.
If so they are masters of their craft!
They surely are!
They’ve got us between a bureaucracy and a hard place.
And they keep squeezing!
Ha! See..this shows that humans really aren’t as smart as wombats! 😛
And..may I add “Wow!” I made it to top weekly commenters list??
Ok..wombats are awesome! 😛
Congratulations, Shree! After your long absence :(, you posted a lot of comments when you returned :).
I knew that a long time ago!
We are going to lose the walls our backs are against if they keep going.
I’m sure the government would take them if they could.
When I was little, I thought people got married so they would have someone to split all of the bills and taxes with. I wasn’t even considering love being a part of the equation. 🙂
It isn’t?? What’s love got to do with it?
Thank you for adding my ‘Chris the Zombie’ offering peter, he does look kind of frightening on that one doesn’t he? 🙂 lol
Andro
You’re welcome, Andro. Between Zombies and taxes, Chris is having his problems these days.
Fraz, this it why you need to be president. We’re getting robbed to death. Save us Fraz!
I’ll save you! I’ll save the world!
I love this drawing of Andro’s! I think he caught Chris in in true state of mind!
So you’re saying I’m a Zombie?
Well, you do looks a bit dazed sometime. It’s because of all the Wombies, but don’t you dare tell them I said that or I’ll never hear the end of it!
The Wombie stress factor is rather high at times.
You know I know it! 😉 🙂
You sure do!
Ahahah Fraz!! 😀
And what a cool drawing by Andro. 😀 happy birthday to Andro, again! 🙂
Yes it is a cool drawing. And it’s up on Andro’s birthday, too, which is a nice coincidence.
Can’t be because then they would be doing something right
They do seem to strive to do otherwise, don’t they?
This is spot on and sometimes I don’t like how they are spending our money either.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
If they were spending their own money it’d be a lot easier to take.
Your not that far off.They went to school for it. And the had to walk 5 miles up hill.
Both ways! In the snow!
I think he is a government agent.
Not me!! Maybe you mean Chris.
Fraz is right!!
Government is supposed to siphon us off of all our hard earned money..isn’t it?
I think so. They’d better not try taking my chocolates though!
no way ..they try take anything from Fraz they deal with me..
I’m glad you’re on my side!
Governments everywhere are the same… ah!
It seems to be universal that governments are inefficient bureaucracies.
I can’t complain too much… I live in a state where they have no sales tax!
It’s 13% here!
Arrrgh!! don’t get me started with Governments, …. Can’t we have a Government free Zone?… Send them off somewhere else… I know, launch them into outer space… Surely they can’t do any harm there?.. xPenx
In Fraz World there wouldn’t be any government! Just me as king! And no taxes. And free chocolate and wine gums for everyone!
I think you hit a nerve.
And hopefully the government won’t see fit to take that away, too.
When it comes to tax, I am glad I live in Indonesia 😉
the only tax I have to pay is salary tax (I have no idea how you call it in English)…and the office is the one who pay it. The other tax is the automatic tax of 10% from everything we purchase.
Too many tax will only makes the people in government more corupt
Salary tax we call income tax. It’s a sliding scale based on how much you earn, which is reasonably fair. The trouble is there are many ways people earning a great deal can get away with paying virtually nothing. It’s interesting that your employer pays that.
We also have a tax for things we buy, and it’s 13% here.
You’re right, the more money the government gets, the more they spend and the more they want and the more opportunities there are for corruption and mismanagement.
I often saw how you guys are so busy counting your personal tax. we never did that 😉
Filling out the income tax forms is an annual event everyone really looks forward to doing over here. Well, maybe not.
Good luck driving to the poor house! I mean, gas prices…
Yeah, walking is more like it these days.
