This Modern World

This Modern World

by Tom Tomorrow

If Conservatives pass a law making English our Official Language, will Foreign tourists be subjected to arrest?

Pardonnez moi, S'il vous plait--ou est le monde de Disney?

Hold it right there, Baguette-eater! You're coming with me!

Will pig Latin be considered a form of Civil Disobedience?

At-whay eems-ay  oo-ee-bay   ee thay  roblem-pay Officer-ay?

You're walkin' a fine line, pal.

Will anti-government militias begin to stockpile foreign films and language tapes?

When other languages are outlawed, only outlaws will speak other languages!

They'll pry my Berlitz tapes from my cold dead fingers!

Ich bin ein Free-man!

And once the language used by Americans in 99% of their daily transactions has been enshrined on law, will Congress work to pass other, equally necessary legislation?

I believe we should designate the Sun our official life-giving source of heat & light!

No problem! I'll attach a rider to my Mandatory Breathing Bill!

Sure beats trying to pass a budget, doesn't it?
