LOL, that is sooo funny.

Jedi, I'm with you on that. It's dangerous to say the pledge of allegiance...

Mis interpreted?

How many Indians killed Birds and plucked their feathers
just for a tribal fashion statement ?

I say don't call a fair exchange a robbery!

What the hell is ethical danger? Dang this whole 'Murican society has gone freakin' soft....

Oh, and btw, Supes... please don't make any toons of drunken red-headed Irishmen getting whacked w/a Hick'ry stick. You might hurt my feelings...

Jedi, what you may be missing is that I don't give a shit anymore. I'm willing to die on this hill and I'll tell you why: In my mind, it's nothing but an NFL smack-down. I conceived it and executed it with nothing more in mind than smack, that's all. Gritz knows me personally and he will be the first to tell you that I am anything but a racist. It was just an idea for a fun cartoon, that's all. Unfortunately, a very few folks saw it differently.

Funny as hell how the NFL can go year after year and forever more with two teams named after native Americans, the Redskins and Chiefs, and while some fuss has been made about it, don't hold your breath for it to change in our lifetimes. Meanwhile, let a cartoonist make a play on it and illustrate his/her conceptions and good gawd almighty! Look out!!! All hell has broken loose!

Anyway, I stand by the cartoon and I'm proud to say it's all mine, just like John Lennon was proud of "I Am The Walrus"! lol

I just noticed the headline in red guys, and thank you so much. That's very nice and I certainly 'preciate it. This is going to be a very interesting week on the OMB's to say the least! Thanks again.

That is REALLY well said Supes...It is a shame we live in a world of "labels"...everyone is so quick to point out the perceived flaws of other people (whether accurate or not), but hesitant to look at their own weaknesses.

Sorry you have to deal with any of this crap. Keep making your awesome art (they are much more than cartoons!) and those of us who know you will continue to appreciate your abilities!
