Friday Funny – the new and improved 4 legged AGW table

Now with Escherisms!

Josh from Cartoons by Josh writes:

I thoroughly enjoyed all the helpful comments on both your blogs about Kev’s  4 legged climate table.

I have tried to put a few of them in… the result was of course entirely predicted by my own highly sophisticated computerised climate cartoon model…as you can see.

Have a great weekend!

Readers may recall, here’s the original discussion: The 4 legged AGW table

And here’s the improved table and final result in a three part panel. I loved how he worked in the polar bear in an Escher style arctic ice “death spiral”.

Good thing I wasn’t holding any beverages or my monitor and keyboard would have been the targets of a surprise downpour.
Absolutely (sun)spot on!

Ah just the thing to enjoy a dreary NE Oregon day-La Nina inspired weather (complete with impeding storm) …

Very clever and highly amusing!
Both ‘updated’ cartoons should be sent to every primary school on the planet immediately.
A picture tells a thousand words, and children would looooove the polar bear. He looks a bit peed off in the ‘result’! Now what could his name be? Snowy? Sooty? Jack, as in I’m all right, but thanks for asking? Or then, maybe he is a she – Alice, Beatrice or Candice?
Thank you Josh, and Friends.

The Zeitgeist in a single frame (the 2nd).
Josh’s best ever.

Never get anything designed by a committee.
In this case, though, a great outcome.

Josh, its a thing of beauty!! I especially love the Escher foundation, and the addition of the “results” pane. Priceless!! The angry looking little polar bear sticking his head up after the crash, and the crash releasing the clouds – its all just great! Thanks so much for sharing with us.

Hehe he Josh is very good at subtly working in the fine detail.
THE POLY BEAR SURVIVED THE CATASTROPHIC COLLAPSE.

This was democratic input to an executive arbiter. Agreed on the outcome. 😀

Thank goodness everything is labelled so I can get the joke.

Sharperoo, I guess some people just need everything explained to them in one- and two-syllable words. 😉
Great stuff, Josh! You have the editorial cartoonist insight combined with a wonderful drawing hand. Keep up the good work.

I second the call for a T-Shirt! The main picture on the front with the result on the back! I want mugs too– much better for starting office conversations.
Thanks so much Josh!

The Escher staircase is a nice idea.

Confusing, chaotic, problematic, resulting in an implosion like collapse. :-()
I didn’t get coffee through my nose this time because I didn’t drink it while watching the pic. I’m real clever like that.

Awesome.

where is the gravy train it was left out, I think a good cartoon can be made up showing all the left wing scientists hanging on as it travels around the world spreading BS and gathering grants from all the sucked in goverments

December 10, 2010 12:28 pm

Yes, we need some way of putting this on a t shirt.

The ancients had their Tower of Babel, we have the Global Warming table.

Josh. One more improvement. The No-Spill Consensus Tea should still be hovering up where it stood before the BCP table came crashing down. That would add some more authenticity to it.

Josh that is a great one! Wish I could have input that hidden trail of skeptical scientist ‘termites’ with real data ‘enzymes’ creeping up the backside. That whole table’s their ‘cup-of-tea’. (I hear they are now multiplying exponentially!)
