Hi samplegirl. I really appreciate your generous comments about my cartoons and for posting them here. Also, thanks for getting into the debate on the Chattanooga Times Free Press site. I noticed you were defending my work there. I hope you'll continue to check out my work. Thanks again, Clay

As someone whose political outlook was greatly influenced by Bloom County at a tender age (sorry to the Doonesbury fans) I just wanted to express my appreciation for your talent. It can't be easy conveying so much in a single frame. You are pissing off the hominids, which means you are doing it right. I've bookmarked your site and will anxiously await your next punch on a daily basis.
All the best to you,
Snake

8. Thank you. I'm seeing so many war related posts today. Great! |
|
Now try and imagine several million dead due to Nazis. We've all seen that. But the rest of the story is millions of Chinese, Russians, Japanese... Now try imagining the 100 million dead. This is utterly mind boggling.
I fear the war machine. We should boycott it. Stop it. But so much of our economy is related to the peripherals of war, we are probably totally dependent upon it.

the current cost of the Iraq war.
By the time it's through, we'll have spent over 10x the Stimulus bill amt. (Can't remember where i read that... HuffPo?)

I wish he could get a gig with Huffington Post. They hire actual reporters, there's no reason why they can't have a resident cartoonist.

Hi JohnnyRingo-
First, I'd like to thank you too for jumping into the fray at the Chattanooga Times Free Press site. It's nice to have you guys over here covering my back. Now, as for the Huffington Post, well, thanks, but no thanks. As much as I like to read the blog, I do need to earn a living. As Ken Lerer, who worked as an executive at Time-Warner before helping to launch the Huffington Post, explained to USA Today: the company has no plans to begin paying the bloggers at the Post. In his words, paying contributors is "not our financial model. We offer them visibility, promotion and distribution with a great company."
Thanks again for your support. The comments posted on my newspaper's site can't hurt me in the eyes of my editors. It's always nice for them to be reminded that I might be bringing readers to the paper and increased traffic to the web site. Thanks again!
Clay

37. Wow. That's really good. |

And the stimulus package will hopefully result in solid returns in the long run, whereas the war in Iraq is just a sinkhole.
