but the guy is still wearing his shoes he just under suspicion for planning to throw shoes which implies there has been at least one previous shoe throwing incident - which of course would be the time bush got some shoes thrown at him - after saddam was already dead

That cartoon is taking place in an alternate history America after Saddam invaded the US. Previous shoe throwing incident was when a group of patriot spies planned to throw a shoe at him 'Valkyrie' style. Shoes are now illegal in Allah Akbarmerika; they left loafers on him to send a message.

also duh throwing shoes is like a thing in arabia so it would not have been unheard of in saddam's day to preemptively hang suspected shoe throwers which according to the cartoon is basically what he did anyway

Hunh. Guess Michael Ramirez isn't dead after all. Apparently, that toon is part of his pitch for his upcoming book The Iranian Cockroach Lies Heavy, in which the US lost the war and a victorious Saddam unites with a re-elected Ahmadinnajad to spread Sharia law through-out the world. Saddam got the east coast, Iran got the rest. There's occasionally pre-emptive shoe-thrower hanging on the side. The weird part is that the book gets even more science-fictiony, in that Saddam keeps a tank of 72 virgin pre-cogs who dream and determine where crimes(e.g. shoe-related) will occur.
There's some recent interview where Ramirez talks about consulting the Qu'ran to determine where the plot should go, and gobbling handfuls of amphetamines all the while..

The kid on the Grinch cartoon is staring at a huge floppy disk labeled, porn. Considering he got that out of some pre-PC 8-inch floppy-reading relic, there's probably only about 1/2 a JPEG on it.
