In a way, it's sad to say that Mallard Fillmore is just as on point today as ever. Liberalism still suffers from the same tried-but-false world views and tactics. No wonder this book receives such diverse reviews -- it lampons the fallacies and faux pas of liberalism very effectively. Best of all, there are no "cheap shots" -- just a very clear mirror on the subject, with enough light to expose the flaws and weakneses in leftist thinking. One of my most treasured books!

If liberals don't find Mallard funny, it's because he strikes too close to home! Not only is the author a skilled political humorist, he shows a high level of artistic skill. Unlike most political cartoonists on both sides, he is will to admit when he wrong.

If you don't laugh out loud when Mallard falls in love with "Pocahontas," there's something wrong with you! Bruce Tinsley is one of the best cartoonists working today!

Just love reading the reviews written by liberals. You may rest assured that Bruce is striking home by the way their shorts are in a knot!

Finally, a comic strip that belongs on the front page! If you are tired of gagging on the poorly drawn, wildly inaccurate doonsebury, then sit back and enjoy a strip that is well-crafted and well-thought out. One has to wonder about some of the reviewers who panned this comic. Did they actually read it- or are they once again mindlessly spewing the party line? If you're tired of the politically correct, touchy-feely, tolerant left-wing media, this strip is a breath of fresh air

FUNNY STUFF, Tinsley has got to be one of the best cartoonists alive today. I read his strip EVERY day, and I now own both books. If you get a chance, get his strips!!!!!

Take a look at the negativity directed at my reviews of Boondocks (a current liberal fave) at the hypocrisy its creator calling Rush Limbaugh a racist for involving race in his material, yet Boondocks constantly deals with race

When Al Capp of Lil Abner fame became a conservative in the 60's, suddenly the former liberal darling had his strip drop from 900 to 400 newspapers.

Mallard's author has never condemned Doonsbury or Boondocks for their anti-conservative viewpoints, thus is not guilty of hypocrisy.

I read Mallard Fillmore for news the 90% liberal media will not print like racism and sexism from black leaders and feminists, intolerance from educational systems and unions, etc

Mallard Fillmore is like that All in the Family episode where they are playing a game and the Liberal Mike Stivic, who regulary pats himself on the back for being sensitive toward blacks (unlike the conservative Archie Bunker), can't take the black person Lionel claiming he is insensitive because Mike does it for selfish reasons.

It takes a lot of guts to say negative things about the "tolerant?", hypocrital left, given the intolerance they express when they don't like something, and do it in an entertaining and humorous manner

P.S. Why does amazon allow a no vote. It only creates a situation where people who can't take opinions who differ from themselves to enact petty revenge

Mallard Fillmore must be the single most unfunny comic strip in wide syndication today. But that should come as no surprise, seeing as it comes from a knee-jerk right-winger who was recently arrested for driving under the influence, which shows how little respect for the law and consideration for the safety and well-being of others he actually has.

The hateful, humor-free content does, however, expose the more vicious side of the conservative movement -- and thereby does it no credit. Conservatives do in fact have some good ideas, but they are not well-served by spite-filled "allies" like cartoonist Tinsley.

Maybe if he'd take a hiatus from the concept side of the cartoon and let Dennis Miller do the writing... naah, I doubt Tinsley's smart enough to consider the idea...

Mallard Fillmore is an embarrassingly excrementitious example of so-called Conservative humor. LAME and ill-informed.

It's excusable that Tinsley can't draw. It's excusable that his opinions are based on his being laughably misinformed and twisting logic beyond any recognition. What's inexcusable is that it's just not funny. His efforts at making humourous points invariably revolve around A. Having the duck make allegedly wry and amusing comments, and B. Drawing the stock "liberal" character jumping up and down in rage and making nonsensical statements. Um...terribly clever, Bruce. I think newspapers embrace it because there isn't much in the way of right-wing political humour--oddly, given how ridiculously conservative the vast majority of media is, no political cartoon even comes close to Doonesbury in terms of popularity. Just because it's the only one doesn't mean it's good, though. Always remember that.

Seriously: you know what I'd like to see? A deathmatch between Sparky the Wonder Penguin and Mallard Fillmore. And upon defeating ol' Mallard, Sparky would hack off his head, hold it up to the crowd, and shout, "This is the head of a traitor!" Man, that would rock.
