Spirited Discussion on this Gary McCoy Abortion Cartoon

I Twittered about this provocative abortion cartoon and got such a discussion on my Facebook page that I decided to post it here for comment.  Frankly, it seems to me that if pro-lifers really believed their own hot-headed rhetoric, that “abortion is murder,” we’d see many more desperate, violent responses, like the killing of this doctor.

Gary McCoy is our resident, knuckle-dragging conservative pro-lifer.  I’ll be interested to see the comments on this cartoon.  We got a crazy number of responses some years ago to a Michael Ramirez cartoon depicting a fetus in an electric chair.  I can always count on abortion, the Confederate Battle Flag, gun control and cartoons about Jews and Islam to bring on the most emotional, angry response.

More Cagle/Muppet Nostalgia

I haven’t gotten many comments here, but I’ve been getting some nice e-mails about my Muppets post and I thought I’d put up a little more.

Most of my old Muppet work was pretty obscure; people remember the McDonalds glasses and, if they wore my Keds shoes or Timex watches, they remember those.  Two more that people seem to remember are: Post Croonchy Stars, the Swedish Chef cereal.  I did the puzzles and games that updated each month on the backs of the cereal boxes; kids read these as they ate their morning sugar.  I still have some boxes of Post Croonchy Stars in the garage, and I think they are still as fresh and edible as the day they hit supermarkets.

When little Muppet fans’ baby teeth rotted from all that sugar, we were ready with my Muppet Oral B toothbrushes; these seemed to stay in the stores for about 20 years.

Oh, those were the days.
