Bob,
I feel your "humorous" cartoon depicting the killing of a bear published in the March 3rd Chronicle is inappropriate. The killing of any living animal, especially one who unsuspectingly was just enjoying a drink of water from a pond, is not what we want to laugh at, or foster in our children. Please rethink such humor going forward unless there was a hidden message in this one. For the most-part, I think many of your other cartoons were good. but this one was definitely not. Let's value life!

Yes let’s value life, with some humor!
ReplyDeleteBob,
I am a fan of Gary Larson, of the Far Side comic strip. I can appreciate the humor and irony of his cartoon published in the Copake Chronicle on March 3rd. The only thing that could have made this cartoon possibly more funny and ironic is if the animal was a more protected species, such as a Mountain Gorilla, or maybe a Polar Bear. I mean after all it is a cartoon, a black and white one at that.
Hey Bob I have a joke for ya.
This penguin walks into a bar…………………
You know what Bob I will save this joke for when I see you in person. Some people might get offend about a penguin going into a bar. Where alcohol might be served to the poor creature, and who knows, is the penguin of age to drink?? Where would the little animal keep his ID.?
This also brings to mind, would you agree with me that GEICO gecko is being exploited? Oh, and what about that E-Trade baby, now that kid’s parent should be taken out and horse whip. Ok I have said enough I am getting myself upset.

Bob,
ReplyDeleteGerard sounds like he has my (and your) sense of humor. People have to lighten up and laugh. It is good for one's health (mental and physical). I know the penguin joke, and it is a hoot. Be sure he tells it to you. And, Gary Larson is a great cartoonist!
Free the GEICO gecko!
