Finally a political slogan everybody can agree on. Because, seriously, who in his right mind would oppose freedom, justice, and most importantly, COOKIES!?! Most of you surely remember the strip Pie in which the banner was already shown.
You can buy a poster / print of this strip in our store, as well as a couple of other products with the same design.
T-shirts and various other products with the following two designs based on today’s strip are also available. They are printed on organic t-shirts, since that seemed to fit the message, but it’s also possible to select one of the many other shirt types, including ones for colder weather.
If you want any of these pictures printed on another type of product, for example on a mug or a mousepad, just drop a note in the comments.
Monday, we’ll resume with more conventional strips once again.
- Banner: FREEDOM! JUSTICE! COOKIES!

Only way it could possibly get any better was if it was pie.
Color WOW!!!! And I can have this on a shirt and poster :DDD! Totally awesome!
yum, cookies.
Hi,
The next one could have pretzels 🙂
Have fun,
José
Where is our furry pal? How do you expect to “woo” the public?
The kids look especially adorable in this picture.
I do know people who would oppose cookies, actually. But I’m not one of them, and as far as I’m concerned anybody who doesn’t want cookies can just go eat worms.
Incidentally, I did a little math today and it would seem that the average adult male eats roughly the equivalent of a tenth of a gallon of gasoline every day. According to a quick Google and a little more math, the average cookie is worth something like 0.0027 gallons.
We burn energy at a rate of 100-200 Watts. Which as it turns out is roughly equivalent to the power used by my computer.
Therefor I conclude that my computer is a person too, which is why I leave it’s cookies enabled.
Cookies are awesome incarnate.
Super cute, wonderful colors!
Shame though, Larisa doesn’t seem to be joining in on the fun, but that’s fine I suppose. It seems her agenda consists more subjection and chaos rather then freedom and justice. Plus, forgive me if I’m wrong, but isn’t she a diabetic? xD
…With Liberty, Justice, and Cookies for all! Oh yeah, I can totally dig this one.
I can wear a button to work. That would be nice.
I wanna see Woo imitate Cookie Monster. By eating cookies maniacally, I mean.
You got my vote for the top executive office. Unless it’s spinach cookies. I don’t like those kind of cookies.
mmm….cookies….
I like pizza better than cookies.
Ahh Cookies! My favorite bumper sticker is “Come to the Dark Side… We have Cookies!”. As for the Cookie Monster, I just recently heard that he is no longer allowed to eat cookies, and has been renamed the Vegetable Monster. Another victim of an overly PC society… Also if you get the CD set of the original first season of Sesame Street, there is actually a warning saying its unsuitable for children. What have we done…
I suppose our version here in Canada would be “Peace, Order, and Cookies” 😀
I think diabetics would strongly oppose cookies
R says: I can wear a button to work. That would be nice.
Now available: [1], [2].
I would gladly sacrifice freedom and justice if it meant more cookies.
@Baughbe
Er… no, that rumor has been cirulating for years. He’s still the cookie monster. He does happen to eat other things now, though. Still, mostly cookies.
Ah a slogan that will unite diabetics and non-diabetics alike, truly a great idea.
dude, where the heck is the milk?
Truth! Justice! Freedom! And a Hard Boiled Egg!
@ galaniel: Just the other night, I saw the funniest ‘Got Milk’ ad. It featured the Pilsberry Dough Boy delivering hot, delicious cookies to a hungry family. All warm and fuzzy. Then, the grand mother brings the upturned and empty milk container. Super funny punch line without a spoken word.
@ Baughbe: You beat me to it. “Come to the darkside…” was going to be my only reply comment. As for the Sesame Street warning…why am I not surprised? First off, what year was it from? Because, I’m getting flash backs from season one of The Muppet Show. And, that was an out of control, notions fest. For example, it does help support the rumors about Burt and Earnie…
@ Pizzasgood: Very interesting logic. And, who knows…you might be right. My computer has given me strange advice, in the past, via a program I built. Having known how it works…or is suppose to…such results are suspicious that there’s more to these machines then one would expect.
@RedAngel: Yup, Go Canada!
“Peace, Order, and Good Cookies!” (We have standards).
Or “Liberté, égalité, biscuit!” For France…
Do we have any others?
… But I could still get behind “Freedom! Justice! Cookies!” That’s almost universal! Cookies!
Your slogan does not work for all people. It excludes both diabetics and people allergic to Gluten! What a way to get Larisa’s support! Bad Novil, Bad!
I, personally, love it; and if I had the money would definitely buy it. Somehow, Sandra looks cuter in color, and a “political” poster in this vein definitely seems like something Cloud would support. Bring on more cookies!
I wonder if Sid has any Oreos left?
Drannik and Lizzep of Negligence approve of this slogan.
@Frank: Don’t they make sugar free cookies?
I hate to burst your Political bubble, but…
http://punditkitchen.com/2008/03/25/political-pictures-come-to-the-dark-side/
ACTUALLY, one time I was making cookies at one in the morning (don’t ask), and my step-dad woke up to the smell of it, and apparently he was angry… so he opposed cookies at that time, although I can’t imagine waking up to freshly baked cookies and being angry… *shrugs* 🙂
Diabetics. Diabetics and people on the Atkins diet. Those are people who would not align with your cause.
Also, vegans who will only support you if the cookies are made without eggs or milk.
…cookies…(O O)
… And reasonably priced love!
Hey! Well whaddya know? I predicted their colorings properly! Which by the way I abosolutely love! Great comic so far(new reader)!
@ KzT:
nah cookies are just perfect ;o .KzT mabi player~ so am I ;D
cookies can be made with no added sugars, minimal starch, gluten-free, and any number of other ways so that the maximal range of people can enjoy them. Cookies are an egalitarian food!
ALSO: Went to ogle the shirts on Zazzle and found the shop empty of all products, though not of headers or descriptions of the headers Oo;
Darn you…..I was doing fine, but suddenly I have this craving for about 10 boxes “Thin Mints, Do-Si-Dos and Tagalongs.” Excuse me, I gotta see if I can find a Girl Scout!
for some reson i fought cloud would have blue hair
I’d prefer a hard-boiled egg.
The Cookie party is my new political orientation on Facebook.
the freedom! justice! cookies! bird would make a great poster =D
dident notice i could buy i poster of it o-O
@ Tfeth282:
a political party i very well may join!
Wolf in Bears Clothing (its the last thing they’d suspect)
Truth emulates fiction, sometimes in very unusual ways.
In the post-effects of the recent elections in Russia, where “Freedom, Justice” was pretty much the slogan on the street, though in much greater variety, state-controlled TV accused the protesters of being paid for by the US State Department. With cash and cookies. Guess what happened next.
Yep, cookies became a meme.
There should be a version of Larisa writing sugar free above the Cookies in marker
What happened to the store? :< No products? This makes me sad..
Good slogan, but the People’s Republic of Treacle Mine Road has you beat:
“Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably-Priced Love and a Hard-Boiled Egg!”
Oh goody. I’m going to get to be the first to point out that justice and freedom are mutually exclusive! =D
.
At least they aren’t as utterly contrary as “love and peace” … which cracks me up every time on account of love being responsible for most of the world’s wars.
.
But anyway… to think on it a little more, both justice and freedom are ultimately unattainable… the former because it is an inviable concept altogether, and the latter because the ultimate realisation of freedom is indistinguishable from nothingness.
.
Justice is at its core a concept crafted for abuse. In real terms it cannot exist due to individual differences. Different goals, aspirations, baselines and tolerances. Effectively, for justice to be viable, everyone would have to be exactly the same… which would necessitate everyone treating everyone else the same from the get-go, so the concept of justice wouldn’t even exist.
In practice, when people talk about justice, what they mean is that they want what is best for themselves and their own WITHOUT having to feel guilty about it, because they can just pretend that all the people who are ripped off are just whining unnecessarily. i.e. Justice is just a euphemism for greed born of pride.
.
Freedom is easier. It is the lack of constraint / boundaries. Freedom is the path towards chaos, effectively.
To have greater action potential, but also greater potential to be acted upon… along with the oft-confusing necessity that said counteractions may inhibit one’s own progress in the process. It is true enough to say that breaking down the walls which keep you caged in is equally going to allow in the things that were locked out.
And ultimately, enough freedom leads inevitably to death (especially when it is such things as freedom for your blood from your body).
.
… So anyway. I enjoyed typing all that out, even if nobody will ever read it.
I just sorta like progressing my own deconstructionist agenda. =D
@ SotiCoto:
I would love to write a long paper pointing out the many holes in that argument, but I am far to tired to do that, and, as you said, nobody will probably read it anyway. Therefore, I shall only point out the important flaws.
1. You assume that justice can not exist without perfect conformity. You present no argument as to why, and, in fact, it can exist in our imperfect world. If you try to argue that justice is unrealistic because what most humans consider to be morally right is only our opinion, you would be correct, because that is true. In any case, starting an argument as to why justice and freedom can not coexist by arguing that justice can not exist is a flawed argument in itself, as it defeats its own point.
2. You assume as well that justice is born from greed and pride. This is also untrue. Imagine a place without law. When someone kills another, the murdered man’s friend will take revenge, and this will continue forever until no one remains alive (exaggerated). Wih laws and justice, we try to make up for revenge. No more on that, though, as I am trying not to write too much.
3. Perfect freedom is impossible, for if everyone is free, nobody is free to control another. That said, your argument about freedom makes little sense. You take the term far too literally, making the same mistake you made on justice, by not applying human concepts to freedom as well. When we speak of freedom, we speak of freedom from unwanted control, and freedom to make your own choices. (again, I must move on without completing my statements)
Most importantly:
4. This applies especially to your statement on love and peace. Wars are not usually based in love, they are based in human instinct for survival, which is in turn based in fear. Skipping last the whole discussion of how all human action is based in our primal instincts to survive, and the instinct to fear which is vital to that, people usually fight for one of two reasons: want of land/resources, or religion. This also applies to freedom and justice, for justice is, too, based in the desire to survive and prosper.
5. Most importantly, the vital elements of freedom (the freedoms democracies were made to protect, not the literal ones to try to argue about) can not exist without justice. First, I will assume that justice is a vital part of any system of law, and, without it, no laws attempting to guarantee would be able to be upheld. Those laws allow freedom to exist, by giving people the freedom to live. As I stated above, in an anarchy (for without justice, there is no law), Many people would try to control others, and act in other ways that restrict freedoms.
If you try to argue that justice is not only used for good purposes such as freedom, I point out to you that the banner (ignoring the cookies), is shooting for real justice in situations suh as those.
I can write no more in the time I have, so I’ll leave it at that.
Yummmm, cookie fattened squab…
