I've been following the controversy surrounding the disaster relief response to hurricane Katrina. To balance the overwhelming humanity of the suffering, I've also been reading Groo comics. For those who don't know, Groo is a barbarian whose stupidity is matched only by his love of slaying people in combat. He's incredibly dim, but you know.. you can learn a lot from a dummy.

Each story ends with a moral, and this issue's moral seems particularly relevant to the New Orleans clusterfuck. Groo is so reknowned for destroying whatever town he wanders into that the people of the town of Miggledy freak out when they hear he's coming. By the time he actually arrives, they've destroyed their own town in their panic!

In case you don't want to actually read the comic to get the punchline, here it is :
