maybe the above heading will generate some discussion. A short
introduction and an unedited cartoon can be found at:

Well, I can guess which cartoon is the one that you believe (or that editor)
would be trouble. (BTW, Michaelanglo himself was"eye-talian") I have no
problem with how you expressing how you feel, or what you believe in, that's
your right. However, what other people think is another complete matter. You
can imagine how many people would have canceled subscriptions, losing the
newspaper money. Let's not even go into the negative reaction you'd receive,
probably to the level of hate mail. You DO remember your reaction to Wiley
Miller's "Southern Pride" cartoon a while back, don't you?
Just a reminder of how people react. We don't burn people at the stake, or
form lynch mobs anymore, but some base reactions never change.

I believe that the N word has kept me from giving play to that
fine cartoon for years. But since I also believe that they shouldn't have
painted clothes on God, and that they shouldn't edited all those
great old Bugs Bunny cartoons, I had a conundrum.

* Yes. After the fact Wiley said (not here) that his intent was
to excoriate white supremacists, and that his cartoon had
hit a wider audience than he had targeted. As a professional,
he'd rather hit the bull's-eye. I liked Wiley's cartoons before
he said that, now I like Wiley too.

That's called "collateral damn-age", ain't it?

How could I not notice? I love the Andy Griffith Show! I have a hard time
finding it at a decent time though, and it's usually an episode I've seen
before . . . at least three times . . .

Well, as that famous fictional Southerner said, "shit happens."
By the way, what was the guy doing in the first cartoon? Was that a deck of
cards, or what?

Well, as they say, respect is earned. It's good to know you seem to be
going there. He still does too many lawyer jokes though . . .

You can't see the one about "citizen's a-ray-ust" too many times.

Fumbling through his wallet. That's one of those accordion frobs
that comes with new wallets. What I want to know is what's going on
in the second to last panel, with the fifty bucks...
