Expert Starbuck

I wasn't planning to do another Battlestar Galactica spoof so soon but I just read an article by Dirk Benedict (the original Starbuck) who scathingly criticised the new Battlestar series for turning Starbuck into a woman. The worst thing about the article is not his chauvinistic attitude (he actually states 'Men hand out cigars. Women hand out babies'). Nor his arrogance in thinking his acting somehow had more character and depth in what amounted to cigar chomping and one dimensional womanising. What gets me is he hasn't even seen the show! It's up there with fundamentalists burning Harry Potter books without even reading them. Anyway, what has that to do with this week's cartoon? Well, not much other than the character of Starbuck but I just had to get that rant off my chest! The winning punchline was submitted by Mark. There were 17 finalist punchlines chosen for this cartoon. You can read the transcript of IRC Judging Session #482 where we decided the winning punchline. This cartoon was archived on 2006-08-11.
