Seven Words You Can’t Say in Heaven

Cidu Bill on Jun 26th 2008

A day or two after George Carlin died, we began seeing political cartoonists’ inevitable, near-identical tributes: Carlin at the Pearly Gates and a reference to the seven words he can’t say in heaven (comic strip writers, with longer lead times, should begin weighing in with the identical gag around the second week in July).

But now there’s a controversy over the fact that Carlin was a atheist, and therefore it’s disrespectful of his beliefs to show him entering Heaven.

I’ll hold off on my own comments until everybody else has had their say.

Unfair Political Cartoon of the Week

Cidu Bill on May 11th 2008

You can make a valid argument that Hillary Clinton hasn’t run history’s classiest campaign — especially after she responded to losing her early lead by going all Captain Queeg on us — but there’s no basis for this cartoon; and aren’t political cartoons supposed to represent and actual event or comment or trait, rather than just something the cartoonist decided to pull out of his butt?
