*THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THEIR HEARTFELT CONGRATS CONCERNING THE BIRTH OF THE FETUS FORMERLY KNOWN AS LIL GRAVY..
And super special thanks to everyone who sent wonderful gifts. Paintings, baby clothes, letters for him to read in the future....amazing stuff.

And thanks for your concern, too. He's recovering well from the meconium consumption. Like I said in the strip, he's full of crap like his father.

We should have him home very soon.

*THE OBAMA/NEW YORKER COVER..
Wow..I didn't know I would be such a sought-after commentator on the controversy of the week. I was contacted by the S.F. Chronicle, BlackAmericaWeb.com and the Columbia Journalism Review. I feel like I'm somebody!!

I'm not sure what I told everyone, but sometimes satire works and sometimes it doesn't. The New Yorker ain't known for it's brilliant satire. I think the cover would've been far more effective if it was the cover of MAD.

I remember my college newspaper did a parody of a Modest Proposal, suggesting that we eat the elderly to save money. Folks got so bent out of shape about it, it was unreal. I thought it worked. Other people didn't. Oh well.

Yes, the cover was in poor taste. Should there be this huge hullabaloo? Nah. But America never has its priorities straight, so why should it start now?

*WHOOPS..I MESSED UP ON THE TIME OF MY COMIC-CON PANEL IN MY NEWSLETTER..
It is on Thursday at 11:30am-12:30pm. Don't be later, it's gonna be packed. The Comics Reporter did a nice recommendation.
