New Cartoon! Great Resolve

Yeah, so after the flu I got a little case of pneumonia, which sorta put a damper on any creative pursuits for a while. But I'm back now. Happy New Year.

Sigh...

How can I be silent when there are so many crazy and blogworthy things going on? Well, I've been in bed with the flu for over a week. So no new cartoons or blogs until I get better. Cough, hack, cough.

7-year-old disciplined for talking about his family in school

From the NYTimes ("Boy's Talk of His Gay Mothers Sets Off Furor in Louisiana"):

7-year-old Louisiana boy was disciplined by his elementary school for telling a second-grade classmate that he had two mothers and explaining that gay meant "when a girl likes a girl," the American Civil Liberties Union says. The boy, Marcus McLaurin, was referred to the school's behavior clinic, where he was ordered to write the sentence "I will never say the word 'gay' in school again" over and over, the civil liberties group said.

Now that's just priceless...

New Cartoon!: 440 Who Missed the Photo Op...

I went back and forth on trying to show ALL the coffins (which I did for the web version, they're too tiny to see very well) or showing some at a larger size. Either way, if I hear one more conservative pundit talking about how Bush's secretive 2 1/2 hours in the Baghdad airport shows "physical courage"... or if I see one more cartoon implying Bush was down in the foxholes with the troops... I may just faint from misery.
