I thought it was suppose to be a stick . . . I guess even in politics, there’s an arms race.
Hammers are way better than sticks! Unless you’re making a fire or something.
Haha! This is my favorite comic so far.
Thanks, James. Glad you liked it.
There might just be a vacancy for Prime Minister of Australia real soon 🙄
Do you think anyone would vote for me? I’d give free chocolate to everyone!
Promises Promises.
But yummy promises!
I have a few friends there, I have them vote for you, lol.
Great! You’ll get extra chocolate if I get elected!
If you can fix our health care, education, emergency services & every other service that the government has botched up you stand a pretty good chance. You certainly couldn’t make any more of a mess of it.
That first stuff sounds kinda tough.
Maybe I can just promise to make a smaller mess of things than anyone else!
Chocolate, wine gums and mud cakes you say?
Vote Fraz for Prime Minister
I think I could run for Prime Minister and President at the same time. I could move the White House to Hawaii, and rule America and Australia from there.
Fraz you could even be the next King if you like? 🙂
That would be awesome! Prime Minister, President, and King all at the same time!
One World Order. Wombania !!!
This could be BIG!
Fraz rules!
You already have my vote Fraz 🙂
I knew I could count on you, Andro!
I added my new election sign to the top of the page! See it?
Wow now it is official so let us ALL Vote for Fraz the Great, Fraz the Incredible, Fraz for President, King and Prime Minister 🙂
You should write my speeches! There’d be extra chocolate for you if you did. Plus a bunch of rooms at the Fraz House. I mean the White House.
Yes I like the sound of that new post Fraz, I will be writing lots of wickedly excellent speeches for you… ‘Friends, Romans, Countrymen lend me your votes’…
Yes I think that we will do very well Fraz and as we are sharing all the chocolates I know it will be a very happy job 🙂
That sounds great to me, Andro! Now I should be able to give some awesome speeches and everyone will want to vote for me!
President Fraz or Prime Minister Fraz….that doesn’t sound so bad 😉
I like the sound of that!
Do presidents have to take baths?
Only once a year Fraz 🙂
I think I could live with that!
I had to take one of those twice this week…yuk.
Twice?? In one week?? Maybe they’re trying to drown you or something!
You are the president…you can make a rule that no one should take a bath more than one in a week!!… although that would be a bit difficult for me
Yeah, that wouldn’t be so good for you. Maybe I’ll make a rule that no one should be forced to take a bath. But you could still take one if you want to.
Fraz is just too adorable
Will that get me more votes?
Deny, Fraz.
The first rule is always deny.
So is the second.
And the third…
🙂
I’m already pretty good at denying things!
To be good in politics, you have to make everyone BELIEVE that the peg will fit into any hole… then if it doesn’t you need to try and reach a compromise with the hole… but I guess that’s what the hammer is for!
I don’t mind believing, but I think the hammer way is a lot more fun!
Too funny, and sad but true!
It’s only sad if you don’t like to hammer things.
Bwahahahahahaha. Wait, why am I laughing? Oh heck this is funny and so very true.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
The hammer always wins.
Fraz For President!
YES!!
I’d vote for me!
Fraz, I think you would make a better president than any we’ve had for a very long time.
I think so too!
Free chocolate for all!
A hammer in every garage!
And fun for everyone!!
Vote for Fraz for President!
Don’t forget to offer everyone that votes for you one of those free pancakes Fraz 🙂
Yeah, that’s a good idea. Everyone who votes for me gets a free stack of Wombie-sized pancakes, too!
I like your way of thinking Fraz. Hammer it until it works.
That’s how I do my homework, too!
Louisville Sluggers work in a pinch also.
Speak softly and carry a big Slugger!
Fraz is smarter than most politicians!
I hope that means you’ll vote for me!
Fraz for president 2012
I’m in the race!!
I hope the White House has a place to store all my chocolate.
I think that Fort Knox would be a good place to start 🙂
I never thought of that!
Don’t worry Fraz all of your chocolates will be safe in there, and just think of all the pressies you will be getting when you are the President, King and Prime Minister? There is always lots of freebies in those jobs 🙂
I didn’t know that. I really like free stuff! This job sounds better all the time!
Yes there will be lots of free stuff, including as much chocolate that you can eat, so let’s keep all the votes coming in and soon you will be up to your ears in chocolate 🙂
That’s enough to keep me going! There’s nothing better than all the free chocolate we can eat! Especially since we can eat quite a bit!
Well said.
🙂
Politicians would firstly form a committee to establish if putting the square peg in was viable. Then they’d spend tens of thousands to do an environmental impact study & every other study you could think of. Then once they approved it they would make it impossible to achieve by cutting funding to the peg insertion team.
And don’t forget a massive compensation payout to the other pegs because the square peg took their holes…
Being one of those other pegs might not be bad, either.
You seem to know a lot about how politics works. Maybe you’d like to be my Vice President?
Hmmm… Tempting offer. Do I get a car??? Or Cedric could do it for me.
Tony you even get the chance of enjoying a chocolate cigar, but only if it is handed out by a buxom lady with a big smile on her face 🙂
Does buxom mean big-hearted?
Yes big-hearted and very cuddly too 🙂
Sure, you can have a car, Tony. A rocket-powered car, even!
WOW!!! I’m in… Call me when you’re elected & I’ll give you my address to drop the rocket car off to.
Okay! I’ll deliver it personally!
Fraz, I would vote for you. Now, go take a hammer to that peg board.
Hammering away!!
If I had a hammer , I’d hammer in the …ah never mind!
You could start by hammering some of the politicians!
Speak softly and carry a big hammer.
That works for me!
I think he would make a great president.
I hope I can count on your vote!
That’s what the politicians say, isn’t it?
I agree with @jb, He could be a good president !!!
best regards
I think so, too!
hahaha… Good one 🙂 You have great ideas Fraz 🙂
I’m a natural born leader!
I see 🙂
That’s good because some people don’t believe me!
I’ll vote for you Fraz!
Your chocolate is on the way!
Thank heaven’s…Dink ate most of ours up…Good thing I made chocolate peanut butter cookies. I’ll send some to you.
Yay! Fraz for President!!
Thanks! Maybe you could join my campaign!
Stop!!!!! Hammer time.
All political stuff could be solved with hammer time!
and parachute pants
😉
I LOVE the way Fraz thinks!
Remember to vote for me on election day!
Hahaha! It’s the same her in Iceland.
I could be your Prime Minister, too!
OOoooh…nice..haha!!
Another vote! I hope!
Oh my, I love this. Where can I vote?
It’s only virtual voting so far because the real polls aren’t open yet! I hope I’ll win!
