What if cartoonists were also members of the Tea Party?

The Boston Globe has a huge gallery of classic comic strips — reimagined by Ward Sutton as if they had been drawn by a Tea Partier named Joe Smith. I guess Sutton didn’t want his real name on these strips?

Above are three of my faves, but there’s about 20 of them here. I also love their rationale:

The newspaper comics page: some find it to be innocuous, even at times irrelevant. But there’s a growing concern among a certain segment of the country that the comics page is out of step with mainstream values, if not an outright cesspool of treasonous, pinko propaganda.

They offer these strips in the interest of “fairness and balance.”
