PANEL 1:

"Feminazis" would like women to have the same opportunities in life as men.

WOMAN ONE: Equal pay for equal work--that sort of thing.

WOMAN TWO: If it's not too much TROUBLE...?



PANEL 2:

"Smoking Nazis" would rather breathe clean air than secondhand cigarette

smoke.

(Two men are shown in a restaurant.)

NONSMOKER: Terribly sorry to be a BOTHER about this.

SMOKER: Fascist.



PANEL 3:

The ACTUAL Nazis systematically slaughtered six million innocent men, women

and children.

(A bulldozer is shown moving dead bodies from the Nazi holocaust. A gruesome

sight.)

(NOTE: Six million is the Jewish number. The total was much more--ed.)



PANEL 4:

(Two characters are talking about this strip.)

CHARACTER ONE: ...I really hate Nazi analogies.

CHARACTER TWO: What are you--some kind of LANGUAGE NAZI?
