I was upset that I didn’t come up with the “Occupy Sesame Street” posts that are circulating on the internet. But I think I am the first to call for the Occupy Elm Street protests
Wasn’t sure if I liked the format of this as an editorial cartoon as above or a call to action poster as below with more subtlety to what they are protesting. Which do you like better?
I’m not sure. I’d say I like the cartoon one (top) better. Are we going to have to think every time we come here now? I’m not sure I can handle that.
Yes and there is a test…Pay ATTENTION
I can’t afford to pay attention. I am attempting to live off the dollar in Europe. The current rate is $1.38 for every 1 Euro 🙁
Need to go to mexico
Blahahahah the second one. Freddy’s face is priceless (pun intended).
Freddy’s face is the same in both of them
Yeah, but it gets lost in the first one 🙂
Ahhh…OK
I prefer the bottom version because Freddy has the same face he has in the top one. Oh, and it kind of makes more sense too.
See Bearman, see!!!!!
I see I see. Yet others disagree. Now you know my dilemma
Easy pick for me – the top one. I think you need to read their signs to get the idea of what they have against Freddy (who was just misunderstood)
Misunderstood. Don’t they say that about most psychos. At least the bleeding hearts do
The top one works for me. I’ll be back later to say more but I’ve got to go study for the test you told Binky about.
Just when you think you know the answers I will change the questions
That’s okay. I’ll just keep talkin’ til you think I know what I’m talkin about.
Keep going
Now you have kept me talkin’ til I had to start thinkin’ and I’ve gone and pulled a muscle. You have to give me a passing grade because I am now on the injured reserve list…or something like that.
I like the first one.
Have people protested against a movie character? … other than Harry Potter?
Most people are into banning books; Freddy is probably safe.
Well I think with Harry they were protesting about the books too.
People should have protested more about Star Trek IV though
For some reason, I like the second one more. It really emphasizes Freddy’s plight.
Can’t any of you agree on anything?
I never thought I’d ever say this but poor Freddy Krueger. I prefer the top drawing – nothing like an angry crowd to prove a point! I’m sure you created the top one first. Always go with your gut (unless Freddy is filleting it).
Yep, I did that one first and then wondered what would it look like to emphasize the Occupy Elm Street portion
I’m with Binky…I don’t want to think and I sure don’t want a test. I can’t pay attention very well either. Bwahahahahahaha.
Love your take on this.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
I test your patience every time I post or comment.
I am not sure. The top you can see the signs & the bottom is just as good as it promotes Occupy Elm St. I am too indicisive to choose I like them both. The best OSS one I came across that fits in with a previous cartoon was “Support Bert and Ernie’s right to marriage equality.”
And I thought “It’s your count that votes” was very funny too
haha, I haven’t seen the “its your count that votes” one. share a link if you have it.

awesome..thanks
Poor Freddy, he looks so sad.
I like the top one better. I love the signs!
I had an even better option but I didn’t write it down and forgot when I actually drew this.
Freddy’s look is classic. Does not know what to do.
He is on the run for the first time
It’s the first one for me!
good thing this isn’t a democracy. You all would have me confused.
Hahaha occupy Elm Street! Nice. Really like Freddy’s facial expression. good stuff! 🙂
Thanks. Took me the longest to find the appropriate expression.
poor freddy, what did he ever do to deserve this?
o wait yeah hes a doushbag that kills people because he got killed by people because he killed people! he should grow up and see what goes around comes around
Karma is a bitch ain’t it?
I like the top one better. I have no idea what Occupy Sesame Street is so on the second one I just wanted to read the protest signs, even though I had just read them in the first one. I found it impossible to do so however.
Maybe one of the protest signs could read Occupy Elm Street but both gags are good and you’d lose a gag. That wasn’t the question anyway though. The first one is the one I personally prefer.
So I guess people want to put troops on Sesame Street because of Bert and Ernie? I remember you did a recent Bert and Ernie comic.
Here is a link to a bunch of Occupy Sesame Street pics

Homework? Blech!
I get it.
The pictures remind me of Bert is Evil. Some but not all of them are really well done. I think Grover and Snuffy were my favorites.
I still like your first comic better.
Grover one was done well. ONe of my favs too.
Nice. Definitely use the top one. The joke doesn’t need to be THAT obvious, just people most people out there are dunderheads (or just unacquainted with the films of Robert Englund).
Robert Englund in the original V???
I think Wall Street is a little bit more scarier at the time (have you seen some of the people there!)
Inside or outside?
Both!
Hahahaha! Poor Frieddy.
Great idea!
Thanks HH
I hope they don’t occupy Pub Alley. We won’t share our
garbagefood with any of themWhat if they bring cheese?
Cheese may pursuade me
Blahahahaha Bearman, someone’s in the naughty corner at Wombania 🙂
YOU…all your fault
I saw on tonight’s news that this is now going on all over the world. I only saw bits & pieces of it as I was colouring a comic & just poked my head around the side of the door a few times. Seemed like things were getting outta hand in some of the places.
Occupy Tasmania!!!
I just finished drawing up a “Occupy Pub Alley” comic during my lunch break. It’ll be up Friday
If only the residents of Elm Street had thought to band together sooner. Maybe Freddy just plain didn’t know how much they disapproved of the way he was running their dreams.
When I was a teenager…Ugly scarred men didn’t enter my dreams.
Now, if we could start an “occupy my furnace”, I could just turn it on and use up all that free fuel I would now have! [muah-HA-hahahahaha] [grin]
How about you occupy a sweater and then we won’t have to charge you with manslaughter
HAH! I like THAT retort, sport! [smirk]
I work hard to one up you.
Ha,ha,ha! Outrageous.
This is definitely ONE protest I’ll be at.
I’ll see you in your dreams..haha
Hahaha…
either way…
I feel like I’m gonna get clawed.
🙂
Must be the cat in the room.
Freddy look like he’s legitimately sad that they are occupying Elm St.
