Editorial Cartoon: TSA Pat Downs
I have noticed over the last week a sudden uptick in visitors looking at my previous Body Scanner cartoon. So I thought I would delight them with what turned out to be one of my own personal favorites.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the creepy old guy depicted, he is Herbert, the creepy old guy from the Family Guy cartoon. I was going to have him say something about excusing his shaky hand but thought this was better.
And of course, I had to jump on the bandwagon with my own “Don’t Touch My Junk” shirt.
Plus right now is a good time to buy this as you save $10 on orders of $50+ in my shop during the CafePress Friends & Family Sale November 20-23. So shop our store, wacksack.com and use code: Friend10.
CONTEST:
Now since our friend Brit is out there with a contest trying to get followers by offering cookies, I thought I would try my own. The first person to buy the “Don’t Touch My Junk” t-shirt and gets video of themselves going through airport security wearing it will win a $50 Cafepress Gift Certificate that you can use on my store or any other Cafepress store. (Update: So the wife had a point that it might be against airport regulations to take pictures at security so as not to get anyone in trouble I’m switching things up. If I get at least 5 people to buy the shirt and send me a picture of them wearing it in a funny situation, I’ll have my readers pick their favorite and that person will win a $50 Cafepress Gift Certificate.)

OMG! this is so right on b-man. i was one of those scanner-gawkers you mentioned and yes, today i’m delighted! you sure know how to amuse me. the “Don’t touch my junk” shirt is great!
Are you just saying you enjoy a man who stuffs?
if you mean stuffs his stomach then your right! have you seen rip lately?
i love your challenge and i think i’ll take you up on that. gotta go to whacksack now to see how soon you can get it to me. oops i mean wacksack. *smile*
You are always up for the challenges and that’s why we missed you.
i ordered mine!
Woo hoo..$4 for my college fund.
Think I’ll skip the shirt, but love the cartoon. He is a positively wonderful addition to Family Guy and a great fit for this. I’d be walking the other way if he was my TSA guy, but on the other hand I’m not his type!!
Can you imagine. Now watch, the Family Guy will steal my idea and actually do this.
That’s a cool idea.
Lol, on the cartoon
Thank you.
Hahaha! Love that character. If only you could portray the whistle voice
I know…but I could hear it in my head.
I can hear it in my head too, the old pervert. I’m seriously toying with the idea of putting audio on some of my strips. It beats having them read to the visually challenged by a robot voice.
Now that would be an amazing feat.
lost for words…
Come back when you find them.
still looking, they were here somewhere…
The contest needs to include popsicles…it just seems “in character”.
“…you get your fat ass back here.”
I’ll send you a box of popsicles if you win.
I’m next, I’m next!!! Pick me, Pick me!!!
Is your wife spending too much time on her blog lately Tony?
I just think the old guy is kinda cute…
I love his solitary tooth
Helps him whistle when he talks.
I would imagine crossing out ‘don’t’ and heading for security might also create an interesting situation.
If that is the shirt you want, let me know and I would be happy to create.
Hahaha … I don’t think I could pull it off, but thanks for the offer, Bearman!
As M.C. Hammer once said, “You can’t touch this!” So I guess I won’t be flying for a while unless the TSA will allowed me to be patted down by a hottie.
Maybe you could have a line where you pay extra for an ex stripper to pat you down.
Pretty soon the uniform for the TSA guys will be a trench coat . . . and nothing else.
Pretty soon they’ll expect us to wear a trench coat and nothing else.
…and a smile.
Have a coke…and a smile.
OMG! Too funny. You probably could get a lot more people on board if they saw this. I just had the most disturbing image in my head.
Would you care to share that with us?
like it
It got me thinking (dangerous thing) that even though it would be a slower process maybe the TSA should offer a massage option. A nice 3 minute head-to-toe massage before your flight. Relaxed passengers would increase safety. Maybe I should write to them.
That sounds like a great idea. I’ll take my usual cut.
Okay, now this one is pure comedy gold! I saw that and nearly lost my coffee out my nose! …you may also want to have an alternative choice for those T-Shirts that removes the word “Don’t”. Thats the kind of shirt I’d buy! *smirk*
Does coffee out the nose mean it is double filtered? You and Robert (Spilled Ink) seem to think alike…look above.
This is outrageously hilarious! Excellent material!
Thanks MJ
So true, so creepy and so funny at the same time.
The trifecta!!!
You’re becoming a “triple-threat”, Bearman!
At least Herbert is kind enough to break out the lotion first.
I don’t think he would have it any other way.
Oh for goodness sakes Bearman that tee ain’t no fun. Have you got one that says “Start here” ?
I’ll make it if you buy it..haha
Ain’t nobody touched my junk in so long, I went back for seconds
I didn’t realize this was taxicab confessions.
If he’s the new poster boy for the airlines, it’s no wonder they’re in trouble.
Hey Binky…thanks for stopping by. Make it a habit.
I love that creepy old pervert and the t-shirt idea was brilliant. You should make a killing with this one!
I might need you to draw me a zombie…
A killing for me is to sell more than one of any design.

haha…classic.
Cartoonists are gettin’ a lotta mileage over the TSA. Do you political cartoonists ever write thank you notes to the government for providin’ you so much material.
I never get one from them for paying my taxes on time.
I don’t have a problem with taxes. You have to have an income to pay taxes.
OMG, this is exactly what happened to me while flying out on Saturday night, only I didn’t even refuse the scanner.
(I just hope he calls!)
The person checking out the scanner is unseen. How do you know you want him to call?
Yep, I wouldn’t be surprised if Family Guy blatantly steals this.
As long as they let me be the voice of one of the guest characters.
I would allow this man to pleasure himself to my body scan. I have respect for my elders.
You aren’t too picky though.
bahahahahaaha that is so funny i love this old man from family guy hhahaa “get ur fat ass back here” hehe good one.
i am not looking forward to going through those scanners when im next in the US… maybe ill just sneak over the border??
That actually seems to be the easier way to get in.
Hey, Bearman – your famous !!!
Did a google search on ‘pat downs’ for a post on Madhatters, and guess what google returned on it’s 1st page of search results ?
http://postimage.org/image/29x1u77pg/
I am a search engine lord..haha thanks for sharing.
Not that I don’t get this, but I have a feeling if I knew this creepy character, it would be so much funnier!
