The Real WMDs: Wieners of Mass Destruction

Enough Kim Jong Il…onto Saddam Hussein. Yes, the former Iraq dictator was a pain in the world’s ass for many years, but America made this monster back in the 80’s when he was heralded by the Reagan administration for fighting against the Ayatollah in Iran for eight years. And as with all tin horn dictators propped up by an enormous empire, they get too big for their britches and must be removed by the powers who enabled them in the first place (see every empire since the dawn of civilization).

Here’s a photo-toon from our August 14, 2003 issue, when Saddam Hussein was still on the loose after the “slam dunk” invasion of Iraq.

Saddam Hussein was recently located in a Steubenville, Ohio parking lot distributing WMDs: wieners of mass destruction.

Daffy and Dethpicable

Kim Jong Il reportedly was a huge Daffy Duck fan. He owned the complete collection of episodes and also had a humongous collection of memorabilia. Who knows? Maybe he wanted to be Daffy Duck? Here’s a photo-toon of the dethpicable dictator from our October 28, 2006 issue.

North Korean dictator and Daffy Duck afficionado, Kim Jong Il, reflects on detonating a nuclear device last week, thus possibly jeopardizing regional and world peace.

Rewind: Zany Zealots

A couple posts ago, the recent failure of North Korea’s long range missile reminded us of Kim Jong Il’s wilted missile back in 2006. Which got us thinking about all the anti-American zealots in the past decade who have died or gotten themselves captured and killed. We’ve decided to do a brief photo-toon retrospective on these radical, rabble-rousing, pain-in-the-worlds-asses. Plus, we’ve also got nothing new to put up so we decided to recycle for a while.

Kim Jong Il was known for his rather odd hairdos and his enforcement of hair styles on the people of North Korea. Here’s a photo-toon from our February 13, 2005 issue which shows North Koreans and visitors alike falling in line with the decree that all must follow the Great Leader.

North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Il, enforces his new policy where every citizen must wear the same hairdo as the illustrious leader...no matter what.

 

 

Wilted Missile: Like Father, Like Son

It was reported this week that North Korea’s test of a long range Taepodong 2 missile into orbit, broke up and fell into the Yellow Sea west of Seoul. This launch was supposed to showcase to the world the technological advancement of North Korea’s military under new leader Kim Jong Un, son of Kim Jong Il. But just like his father’s missile test in 2006, it failed with the world watching. Here’s a photo-toon from our July 7, 2006 issue which shows Kim Jong Il’s reaction to that unsuccessful missile test.
