1. Great cartoon--but not even worth a K?

Maybe I need to bash a candidate.

2. Up IS down

Happy to send this to the greatest, btw.

3. Thanks.
People are recommending it, but no one is kicking it. I think it deserves to be seen, and many people won't go to Salon because they have to sit through a 30-second ad if they haven't paid for a premium subscription.

7. you know in Canada
they don't say "upside-down", instead they say "downside-up"... Just another reason for Pre-emptive Invasion.... Makes me wonder what kind of wacky Media they have, eh?

The kind that has to say "eh?" at the end of every sentence, eh? Then Investigative Reporters there would have to have a sort of Accusatory "eh?", eh?

Really, I DO love the cartoon though.. I mean my site is Takebackthemedia.com, eh? :)

8. Wow... only took them seven years to figure that one out..
It would appear that our cartoonists are as lame as our journalists. :shrug:

9. Like Tom Tomorrow, this cartoonist has been on the job
(i.e., on their case) from the beginning. But such alternative and political comic strips don't have as wide a following as some others.
