In October 2001, probably in a fit of hysteria (at a time when nearly everyone in the U.S. was in a state of hysteria), David Rees created what I still consider to be the greatest post-9/11 comic strip in existence: Get Your War On. Oh, plenty of cartoonists did great work after 9/11; “The Adventures of Flagee and Ribbon” from Aaron McGruder’s The Boondocks comes to mind. But Get Your War On was spawned directly by the attack, the resulting war, and the wounded rage of a blindsided superpower. And it was fucking hilarious.

Rees never really had a plan with the comic, more like a frustrated and unwieldy muse. He was going to quit the comic after the attack on Afghanistan ended. Then he was going to end the comic after the war in Iraq. Only, the war didn’t end. Then he was going to quit doing the comic after the Bush administration, which took twice as long as we’d hoped. Instead, almost seven years after a clip art office worker shouted, “Oh yeah! Operation: Enduring Our Freedom is in the motherfucking house!” he wasn’t canned. No, was animated.

The two most prominent clip art characters in the comic are now the stars of the show, which runs about two minutes per episode. The black guy is now known as Accounts Receivable, and the white guy is known as Accounts Payable. They talk on the phone, during office hours, about current events. That’s the entire formula, hilarity amongst the mundane, and on the laugh-a-minute ratio, it’s as good as Seinfeld or The Office.

Whether it’s Accounts Payable singing about how he’s in love with Cindy McCain,

“You know what I like about her? She seems like she’d be up for anything.”

or Accounts Receivable explaining John McCain’s cross in the sand story,

“In that moment, he knew that if he ever decided to run for president, he had a corny-ass story to tell evangelical voters.”

or just pondering the purpose of the Surge,

“The goal of the surge was to just, y’know, get our troops surging like never before, y’know, like a mighty surge and… and… all the troops, and the planes, and the tanks and all that shit, all in one place just surging at the same time, right, basically just surge like a motherfucker, y’know?”

Get Your War On: The Animated Series is the logical end result of Seven Years of This Crazy Shit.

Look, just go watch the damn thing. It will be the funniest two minutes of your day.
