My ex-boss and world renowned Palin Pundit Mike Carey, wrote a handsome obituary for my Daily News career that was published yesterday. I can't resist sharing the first two on-line comments, which illustrate what a cartoonist should expect if they are doing the job remotely right:
Example 1, Validation by appreciation, from a reader who signs herself Sweet Polly:
"This is a truly sad day. Peter is a talented, insightful, hilarious, and 'spot on' cartoonist."
Example 2, Validation through vituperation, from Blue and Gold:
"Good riddance you leftist tool. When is Carey's last day?"
I can only say, sincere thanks to both of you.
(Oh, and "Blue and Gold" why don't you grow a pair, or heck, just grow ONE, and sign your real name?)

Some people lack a sense of humor when elections are just around the corner. I may be a conservative but I can still laugh at the conservative and liberal weaknesses portrayed in a humorous light.
ReplyDeleteConservatives are so conservative, they will not participate in polls because they reserve the "right to a private ballot."
Love your humor,
