Mr. Hat wants a McRib...

Remember, the McRib is only for a limited time, so bring the McRib out first then it's "Allah Akbar", got it.

The infidels will have us eating pork!

To continue on the McRib theme: "Halal? Of course it's not Halal. It's a McRib, dammit!"

"Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us"? Just where the hell do you think we are?

How many times must I tell you that wives are not permitted to be suicide bombers! What's with all the suicide this and suicide that? You know, I'm starting to take this personally.

"If you say, 'Jihad... & lovin' it!' one more time, OFF WITH RONALD'S HEAD!!!"
"Jihad... & lovin' it" is a play on Maxwell Smart + McD's slogan.

For years it's been, "The only thing you think I'm good for is wiping your butt and burping your worm." When will you be pleased, woman?

HEY JOHN
Which one?
This was such a hilarious illustration that could be approached from so many angles. I was mainly hoping to come up with a caption or two that would do it justice. I could really riff on this one, but it's become obvious (YET AGAIN) that when I (or anyone else who is enthusiastic to the extreme about anything in an environment where most people aren't as enthusiastic) go (goes) overboard it turns people off (therefore I'll be self-editing more in the future).
IMHO, this illustration would have been great as a Kirkwood installment with the comments disabled, with all of the cultural & ideological issues & ironies bouncing around in my head like... lotto balls?
Editorial cartooning at its highest.

It is your fault we have come to this. You said we could wear down the infidels one Big Mac at a time by chanting the jingle backwards.

HEY T
The "two nuggets short" riff. Funny. I can hear this psycho arguing and insulting himself.
And, once again, thanks for the kind word. My favorite "Say What's" have a surreal, wide-open vibe with a tinge of anti-PC.
Then, to top it off, YOU GUYS do the heavy lifting.

HEY E. L.
Mr. Hat in a burqa? That would make this guy's alter-ego a cross-dresser. The comedic layers grow even deeper. FUNNY!

The alter-ego could also be female. Add misogyny and sexual ambiguity to the list.
