Temporary post
I was going to pick one from about 20 political cartoons that I thought were funny this week- but then I saw this one. (It looks like it may be one of them New Yorker cartoons that I have always had a hard time with). I decided to post it and keep it up here until someone explains the joke to me. I am truly flummoxed! (P.S. There is no dialogue or caption. Is it possibly a mistake from Time Mag itself?)
CASE SOLVED! (see comments)

Definitely a mistake.. should have had a caption.

It looks like one of the cartoons in Playboy ... or so I've heard.

No. The guy is a cartoonist from the New Yorker.

Charles,
I received your message through a series of circuitous channels.
The trouble with the Lee Lorenz cartoon you saw on the website is that the Time Mag website guys forgot to put the caption with it.
The caption was:
"I knew him when he was just morally bankrupt."
I hope that makes it at least a little bit funnier and eases your mental anguish. Although, how bad can it really be when you're in Hawaii?

Funny! I think the cartoon speaks for itself, or maybe I am just having a flashback to when I was single and this was a typical friday night, me sitting alone and two women making fun of me

MM Man,
You are a head case and I resemble that remark:-)
Chas,
Now that makes total sense and is hysterical.
Bob,
I'm an agnostic however I'm going to pray for you...

Hey Danny your right! But I only told half the story, I left out the part where I slip some GHB into their drinks, take them home and Bada Boom, Bada Bing! You know who the story ends and like Andrew Dice Clay says....OHHH!
