    Real… real… real.

    I’ve worked with people just like this Ken and Barbi. They have all the depth of a thimble.

    And, does anyone wonder why such a large number of people in the U.S. think so badly of the media that actually deals with facts?

    1) Write your local TV and Radio station manager and tell lthem you are not watching and listening.

    2) Don’t tell them you listen to NPR… they;ll just donate more money to their political organizations to attack it.

    Easy solution… bribe the media consultants… (they really are all hustlers who are blowing-smoke… remember W.C. Fields dictum… “You can’t cheat an honest man.”… ) who are trying to out-huckster the other hucksters in the broadcast media)

    So, bribe the media consultants (who tell the TV & radio managers and owners how to present their “news” to best increase ratings) the the best way… would be… have their whole anchor team… with station management… and a bonus payment to the consultants…do a SWIM-WITH-THE-SHARKS.

    Result? 1) A DVD for Teena; 2) Improved broadcast news.

    There might be complaints from PETA.

    Thanks, Mr. Bell. Working in the four-panel world, you are doing interesting and insightful communication

    Our two local newspapers (a free “clubbing” weekly and an aging daily) are stagnated into their segments of the population and revenue. So, the probability that either would run “Candorville” is, unfortunately, about nil.

    That is unfortunate for all of us.

    We have four different issues here: 1) The 2nd Amendment (“A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”) and the mis-interpretations of the US Supreme Court and the NRA (assuming there is any difference between Justices Scalia and Thomas and the NRA). 2) The process by which the FCC has allowed what we used to call “the public airwaves” to become the property of uncontrolled corporate interests; 3) The fact that the majority of Americans endorse reasonable (not NRA and SCOTUS understandings) weapons regulations; 4) The need for better blood-pressure control treatment for the NRA folks who read this.

    Tim,

    Why am I thinking about Thomas Nast… and Bill Mauldin… as I go through your work.

    Please, no head-swelling!

    Tim,

    Another great find in the world of graphic-communications.

    Maybe all comments should be required go through either a 500 word op-ed maximum or be presented in a 4-panel comic format.

    Ranting and raving is never pretty and always counter-productive. I wonder wht that message seems so hard to get through.

    You do great work.

    Thanks.

    It is hard to single out particular panels to praise. There are so many that excel.

    We do not get this in our local newspaper. So, I will have to wait till later today to ask my History-Philosophy major son for his thoughts. I’m fairly confiden what my psychology major daughter will say… “Yeah, dad, it took you this long to figure that out?”

    Thanks for on-going, excellent work,
