This cartoon teaches a powerful lesson to us all. FrankJ has cracked the code concerning our bomb-making teaching in public schools. Bomb shop for everyone!

First?

Apparently bomb making isn't the only thing our Public Schools fail doing. If we haven't cut funding to art classes yet, we should!

Your art work lacks the sublime talent of a Breathed or a Watterson, but your insightful observations of the dhimmicrats makes up for all that, so I forgive you.

Hire me to be your illustator. I'm a "good draw-er," as my friends all used to tell me, and when I get paid I draw even better.

Respectfully, the name Breathed should NEVER be uttered in the same sentence as Watterson....

Calvinball Rules!!!

Granted, Berke Breathed was a weirdo, but I liked the look of the strip, especially in the mid '80s, and I loved Opus. At least I did not say "Trudeau" *shudder*.

I had bomb making in school as an elective course. Okay, maybe it wasn't an official class or even sanctioned by the district, but my friends and I would share the Anarchy Cookbook.

We would swap recipies, ingredients (gun powder, primers, fuses, etc.) during school. We lived to far apart to do this kind of stuff after school. And in Alaska in the wintertime you don't want to walk several miles uphill in the snow (I lived at the bottom of the hill from my friends).

Did I mention this was in junior high?

My attention wandered after the first paragraph...Why was the guy in the cartoon wearing a traffic light?

PM: Ahh, I see your point. I'll have to agree with you on B's artwork. Definitely a step above the norm.

Both B & W owe a huge debt to Walt Kelly, by the way. I keep meaning to pick up some Pogo reprints but never get around to it.

And in the interests of full disclosure, one of my fondest late-80's memories involved a Bill the Cat T-shirt... and sex.

Pogo was awesome, but I was really young when it was in its final days. I remember looking at the pictures in the Sunday funnies before I could read.

I have to add that FrankJ's art work is much easier on the eye than "Cathy." Eeeww!

Frank
You made a biiiiiggg mistake, my friend, in assuming that, uh, assuming that my attention span was, well, you know, whatever you said about my attention span, or whatever you...
Never mind.

Was the misspelling of abhorrent on purpose? Yaknow, to illustrate the level of education?

Awesome! See I told ya, Frank, stickfigures are the way to go! Very funny, except I thought the bomb was his outty belly button....which is still very funny!!
