Illustration Friday
A car with a fireman's sticker was seen tossing a cigarette butt out on the California highway. Guess they wanted to come back to the scene a little later.

Now that is going way overboard. As a volunteer firefighter I take offense to your cartoon. Do you always take one individual and paint an entire nation full of firefighters as all being the same?
Remember Mr. Bors, it is the firefighters who pull the bodies out of car wrecks and risk our own lives for strangers. Have 'you' done that lately?
The illustration represents the person in the story, not every firefighter on the face of the earth.
Anonymous: apparently you can't read.
There are three sides to every story ... and there is to this one. You have anonymous, yours and then there is the 'who cares, because it is funny' side ...
I like that tee shirt ... have to get one of those, but that won't be until after I move.
Uh, one thing I did notice ... if the cat knows you moderate your comments, why would he post a second time?? I mean, if he didn't think you would post his first comment ...
... that is something unnerving about the internet and how it alters the personality of people. It is as if he was going to personally make you admit to being what he thought you were or something. After all, if you are moderating comments, you could have simply deleted him from existence.
Guess he showed you ...
Of course Bors has never pulled the bodies out of car wrecks and risked his life for strangers.
This is just more hate from Bors. Ted Rall is his hero after all. Hate runs in their blood.
I love it when people get so fired up about the "illustration friday" cartoons. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought these were just silly cartoons you were commissioned to do for local stories in some weekly paper...and thus they aren't really reflective of your personal politics. Not to mention that they are rarely political anyway.
That is correct, Jon. I never thought these would light a fire under people but it's pretty amusing.
Yeah, and why all the anti-smoking propaganda?!! You hate tobacco farmers or something?
