I think the joke is that both liberals and conservatives only care about protecting the identities of covert CIA agents when it is politically convenient.Why can't Bok make a joke that...makes sense? I want to like it, but I just can't.
This gives me a great idea: maybe if I type the phrase "soccer mom" 76,000 times, it will make people stop caring about torture!

I think the answer is that Chip Bok just isn't a good editorial cartoonist.

It's kinda like the Sunday Mark Trail which mostly consists of still lifes of cute woodland critters. Is it supposed to be a zen thing?

Chip Bok received the National Cartoonist Society Editorial Cartoon Award in 1995 and 1999.So what? Awards are given away all the time to mediocre talents (cf. Grammys, Oscars, etc). It doesn't change the fact that he sucks right now.
