Recaptioned New Yorker Cartoon #3

"Harry was too young for the Vietnam war, too old for the Iraq war, but he's just the right age for the war on Christmas!"

(This cartoon originally appeared in the October 26, 1968 issue of the New Yorker.)

    Too bad Harry's a little late. General O'Reilly declared victory in that war a few weeks ago and the anti-Christmas junta has waved the white flag.

    I thought for sure the caption was going to be something about Cheney.

    This war on christmas is getting funny to me. Who exactly declared it and when. Has anyone died? How's it being funded? Are the vets taken care of when they return? How will we know who won? How will we know when it's over? Where are we fighting it so that we don't have to fight it here?

    Give 'em hell, Harry!

    And Pop raises some good questions--just what's the real story here? We need to start some go-nowhere, useless, time-wasting Senate inquiries!

    Change the wars around a little, and you'd have described my dad, to a T.

    That caption was great, but Pissed off Patricia's questions were even better. Rock on, girlfriend!

    One more question: are there any extraordinary renditions? And if so, are the terror suspects sent to the mall?

    Dguzman-Harry'll make us all proud. Unlike his namesake Harry Reid.

    Kirby-Which side of the war on Xmas is your dad on?

    Snad-The mall is for good consumers only!

    Crayons-Actually dear, I think I finally found my calling.

    Micgar-Thanks.
