Last week someone emailed me complaining that I “explained” my cartoons. Let’s call him “Chris.”
Well, my main issue is that not only do I often not understand them, it’s that you often admit in the commentary below your cartoons that you have grave doubts that your audience will understand them.

It’s obvious from your cartoon your are a RACIST AND BIGOT!

In 1565, the Spaniards, by way of Juan Ponce de Leon, founded St. Augustine, Florida, the oldest, continuously occupied European settlement in the continental U.S. …
Your Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh mentality is apparent!
Chris, meet Anthony.
