smile:
Check out today's, November 28, Bizarro cartoon!
You'll find it on line at:
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/fun/Bizarro.asp?date=20071128
Bizarro, created by Dan Piraro, is internationally syndicated in 250
newspapers. It has won the National Cartoonists Societys "Best Newspaper
Cartoon Panel" three times and been nominated many more. If your paper is one
of the many, including the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times, which carry
Bizarro, today's cartoon gives you a great opportunity for a letter to the
editor about the serious point behind the laugh. I just singled out two huge
newspapers, but smaller papers publish a much higher proportion of letters they
receive, so if your smaller paper carries Bizarro, why not dash off a quick
note. If you can't find the email address for a letter to the editor, I am
happy to help.
Always include your full name, address, and daytime phone number when sending
a letter to the editor.
If your paper doesn't carry Bizarro (astounding New York papers don't, though
the sensibility is so New York) you might want to put in a good word for it
with the cartoon editor. While it is certainly not an animal rights cartoon,
the creator is an animal rights guy, so there are fun animal message cartoons
from time to time.
I am going to take this opportunity to note with delight that Dan Piraro and
King have granted me permission to use about forty of his cartoons in my
upcoming book. ("Thanking the Monkey: Rethinking the Way we Treat Animals" --
Harper). Meanwhile, you'll find many of his animal friendly cartoons, and
information about his own books on his site www.Bizarro. com
In case you can't get to the link above, showing today's Bizarro cartoon, I
will give the joke away (stop reading now if you plan to take a look):
The cartoon is headed, "Chicken breast feeding." A gal is sitting in a cafe
wearing a "Go Veg" t-shirt. She says to the woman next to her, who is feeding
her toddler pieces of chicken breast, "MUST you do that in public?"
Yours and the animals',

about their religion, but if it does not teach them to be good and kind to
other animals as well as humans, it is all a sham." -- Anna Sewell
