    Holey-moley. And it’s all endorsed by States United Government. That has to mean it’s the right thing to do.

    I’m so old that I had all of these childhood diseases: mumps, measles, chicken pox, scarlet fever. There were no vaccines back then. Most of us liked to brag about the size of our smallpox vaccinations, if I remember correctly. Those could really scar up.

    Yes, polio was a cruel, cruel disease. Our family doctor actually had it.

    “Endorsed by States United Government” sounds like broken English. I think this is an ad, trying to sell something very dangerous, to parents in an Eastern Bloc country.

    I had mumps, chicken pox and both kinds of measles back in 1961-1963. And I remember the PSAs about childhood diseases and immunizations. I’ve searched YouTube for the cartoon about Dippy Diphtheria and his friends (“To destroy good health is their dirty plan . . .”) One magazine ad showed a young boy who’d been exposed to rubella as a fetus; he was wearing hearing aids and Coke-bottle glasses . . . and the ad made it clear that a lot worse could happen with prenatal exposure.

    Just always do what the government tells you. They always know that is best for you, and you, and your family.

    without a doubt, I think this takes the gold star for the dumbest attempt at a comic…it seemed to suddenly appear on my page, I’ve tried to like it, but it is beyond not even coming close to clever, cute, funny, you know, like a comic strip…it’s pure & simply stupid!! somewhat dark, sick, …comic material, no….she needs to read the definition of comic….

    I’m intrigued to hear that Teresa’s strip is suddenly appearing on people’s pages like a flaming bag of poo left on their doorstep. Bigmac13 must have dropped his Big Mac when he saw it. By the way, did you know #13 is unlucky? (I ate 3 Big Macs once but never 13. That’s impressive.)

    According to bigmac13’s profile page, he proclaims “PASTIS 4 PREZ!! He’s got my vote.” That tells me everything I need to know. Also, bigmac13, do you need help understanding how to upload an avatar photo? May I suggest something dark and sick?

    “…instead of immolating our children to Baal…we’re immolating our kids for having a ball…”-That would actually be Moloch, in the Valley of Gehenna, with the pipe wrench.if you study the Qliphoth, however, you may come to realize that the seventh dwelling of the fallen, or Gehenna, is the atomic elements above Radon, which all have a seventh valence shell, and are all too large to be stable, breaking down into less dense elements over the course of time by radiating excess energy. So you could as well say that the inhabitants of Chernobyl burnt their children in sacrifice, utilizing a great bull in which fire was kept. It would eventually make a great story.

    More likely, just “Unistat”.Easier to fit as a sponsor on sports stadia.

    So, we’re back to States United Government No. 1, are we? And all the kids are going down the chute? We’re all in the hole?The everlasting darkness of the freezing ocean of Big Brother’s Boon?I think it is Karma. Or maybe the End Times. Or Kizmet. Fate?

    P.S. bigmac13 (your age?): the word is “lame”; this is the lamest attempt at a comic. But, then, you seem to think that comic means “funny.” So sad….

    The US government endorses a lot of things that go straight down the hole.

    At age five editorial cartoonist Tony Auth (1942-214) was bedridden with rheumatic fever for a number of months. During this period of protracted convalescence, Auth was encouraged by his mother to take up drawing as an enjoyable and worthy creative past time. Inspired by comic book art, Auth began to draw regularly, making use of an ample supply of paper, pencils, and crayons provided by his parents.

    If he hadn’t contracted rheumatic fever, would he have taken up drawing… and cartooning?
