Hunting isn’t my thing, but I’m fine w/ folks who hunt responsibly and with due honor for the animals who provide them with meat (and pleasure). Not so much if it’s mostly about the pleasure. And absolutely opposed if it’s all about the trophy.
THIS is the depiction if “Heaven” that totally pisses me off. This has to be the most evil thing imaginable: you die, you find yourself at the entrance thinking that you’re getting in and then, BAM!, you get the rug pulled out from under you sending you to Hell. You can’t get more evil than that.
This really fits a bunch of “hunters” I know who think paying to be taken out to a tree stand, being helped into the stand, having deer driven in front of them to shoot at (notice I didn’t say “shot” since some of them can’t even manage to hit one even under those conditions), and if they actually shoot a deer they then call in by cell phone to be helped out of the stand, driven back to “camp” while they have the deer picked up (if not also finished off), gutted, dressed, packaged up, and ready to be sent home with them. Alcohol consumption is encouraged (and occasionally other intoxicants). And yet they still brag about their “hunts.”
Oddly enough they get very prissy when I ask them if they want to go hunt up a burger & fries.
Found out Prince Valiant is not going to be available except by online subscription. Have followed it almost since the late 1930’s and will miss it, along with a lotta other folks. My personal assessment is that the strip is one of the best plotted and best drawn of all comics since its inception.
And, until its recent change of artist, I also included Mark Trail, which now seems to have become more a kiddy level comic than a truly informative and interesting take on the environment and the varied species of the planet.
Seems the old saw all good things must come to an end has been proved in no uncertain terms. S-i-i-i-g-h
the one deer hunter in our extended family died a couple decades ago, uncle richard bell. true story.. as the oldest boy and sole support of a dirt poor family of orphans in the early 40s he gratefully signed on as shop boy at newly opened convair war plane manufacturing, bayside in san diego. fast forward decades, he was eventually the last fella let go when they closed in the 1990s (first hired last fired policy)
Remember hunters are people, and come in all types. Those that are ethical, obey the rules, and take only what they what is allowed. and follow proper gun handling procedures. Then there are all the others. Sometimes it seems that the ethical hunter is outnumbered, so to say.
The butt wipe troll thinks hunting from the back of a limo is hunting so he makes the bold, and completely inaccurate assumption (making an a** out of himself again in the process) that I’m against hunting. I’m not but the dipwads who have to be catered to for their hunting jollys are the epitome of “all hat, no cattle”. In other words posers exactly like him.
Which means you might have to divide your eternity between heavens and hells. Won’t that be interesting? Like that fellow will be spending time in a Deer Hell where human hunters are the ones hunted shot and skinned while you feel every bit of it. Then go to a human Heaven for a time.
Harold Gray,the extreme rightist who created LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE,had one redeeming feature.He was firmly anti-hunting.He loved it when PEOPLE used deadly weapons to settlearguments with each other,but he was against using them on animals.
Here’s Daddy Warbucks in mid-1940.
“I’ve hunted men.Been hunted by men.That always seemed fair enough.But sneaking up on some poor wild animal that’s minding its own business just to kill it…..well,that neveruck me as sport.or sporting.”.

The plus side of not being able to take anything with you.
Also, I do know some hunters that would find this cartoon hilarious.
