I almost forgot how messed up 8 years of the Bush administration made everyone. What crazy times those were. Thanks for reminding me of some of those amazing moments.

David Rees' strip was a little burst of lacerating criticism and subversive sanity in the time before War on Terror-themed dissent became widespread. I liked it then, but was surprised by how impactful it still felt in 2014. The anthology format works well, emphasizing the crushing redundancy, the tragic repetition of miscreants making miscalculations, the folly of the clip art protagonists wearing their Santa hats year after year after year while we and our war blunder on.

Hilarious yet also maddening as you remember all of the horrible things that happened from 2001 to 2008.

This really is the definitive account of the War on Terror, which, unfortunately, I took part in. Brilliantly insightful, and had me laughing out loud.

A thorough, funny, and honest account of the War on Terror. I laughed as often as I shuttered in painful remembrance. I was in high school and college during the duration of this comic, so I didn't really make a point of reading the news, and there were occasionally names and events I don't remember, but it doesn't really take away from the enjoyment of the comic. The tone varies between frustration, anger, disillusionment, and complete resignation, but it is able to maintain humor and never feels repetitive or overly depressing.
