THIS MODERN WORLD

An important message from the Association of Right-Wing Bedwetters.

Since this cartoon ran. Widely excoriated in the right-wing blogosphere as anti-military, ludicrously enough.

Seems like a very long time ago.

Health care reform and abortion. (Mobile version at link above.)

A limited number of signed copies of The Very Silly Mayor are available at the publisher’s website. Or you can pick up a copy of the regular edition. Either way, if you have children, or know of any human beings who do, I do encourage you to pick up a copy. It really is the best way to support this little website/cartoon conglomerate of mine this holiday season.

… speaking of the Mayor, feedback from a reader fresh from the inbox:

I just wanted to thank you for “The Very Silly Mayor.” My boys, 3 and 5
years old, love it. They like to read it together, and then try to come up
with silly ideas. Afterwards, we talk about how we can tell if an idea is
silly. And it doesn’t hurt that they love penguins!

I apologize to regular readers for the repetition, but for anyone who might have missed the other eleventy-million times I’ve said this: I wrote this genuinely as a children’s book, not as a wink-wink-nudge-nudge “children’s” book actually aimed at adults, so it is the highest compliment I can receive to hear of it being enjoyed by its actual intended audience.

Last night Hannity had to apologize after Jon Stewart caught him splicing together video from different teabag rallies to make the crowds at the recent one seem larger than they were — he called the mistake “inadvertent.” Fox seems to have a recurring problem with these little “inadvertent” mistakes. From last March:

Yesterday, ThinkProgress noted that Fox News spliced a six-month old clip of Vice President Biden to misleadingly imply that he recently said the “fundamentals of the economy are strong.” Today, Fox News’s Martha MacCallum apologized to viewers and said it was an “inadvertent” error.”
