WE’RE NOT ALL HICKS!

In a thread where we were all talking about Howard Dean and his recent Iowa caucus meltdown, one of the users in the forum posted a link to a political comic called Fillibuster.

I’ve been aware of Filibuster for a while and I admire the artwork. I’m just not a regular reader because if I wanted political cartoons, I could open up any newspaper.

None of this would be important except I stumbled across this comic which casts Iowans in a less than flattering light.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t want you guys to flame Filibuster. I’m not trying to start some big inter-drama here. But it seems unfair that some kid from Canada is promoting a stereotype like this to his audience. So my thought it, if he has a forum to place this misconception into the universe, I have an equally valid soapbox to counter it.

I mean, I know it’s supposed to be funny. And, granted, Iowa has a pretty large redneck population. But that image doesn’t represent me and I take issue with the idea that all Iowans are sitting around in straw hats mulling over serious political decisions while taking council from our dear pig Wilbur.

I’m sure if I made a comic that featured a profusely apologetic lumberjack from Ottawa who drinks only maple syrup and rides a moose, most of Canada wouldn’t be too happy with me either.

I should probably just lighten up.

GETTIN’ POLITICAL, GETTIN’ COMMERCIAL

By the way, I wanted to let everyone know about a guest strip I did over at Filibuster. J.J. was going to be out of town for a few weeks and asked if I could whip something up for him. I don’t mind being a little political from time to time, so I decided to take him up on the opportunity. It has fun with both the Democrats and Republicans, so check it out!

I also wanted to clue everyone in on a t-shirt design I submitted to Threadless. If possible, please vote for my entry. If you could mark the box that says “I’d Buy This” along with a rating of 5, it would really help me out. You can leave comments at the bottom, if you like.

All you have to do is create an account there to vote. It doesn’t cost you anything and it doesn’t commit you to buying the shirt. Threadless just uses the votes to calculate which shirts will be considered for production. If they choose mine, then I get a percentage of every shirt sold. Plus, it would just be really cool!

Thanks to everyone for their support!
