Letters to the Editor
-
Why does a cartoon need a letter?
Since you asked, I don't get what is under the guy's nose in the purple panel and I don't get that hostile look the penquin gives Binkley just before putting down the watering can.
I like the idea of watering dandelions but I don't especially see what's funny or satiric about a dandelion memorial.
It does bring to mind that old hymn by Isaac Watts which I know as Retribution:
Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I,
To mourn and murmur and repine,
To see the wicked placed on high,
In pride and robes of honor shine.
Chorus:
But O their end, their dreadful end,
Thy sanctuary taught me so:
On slipp'ry rocks I see them stand,
And fi'ry billows roll below.
False are the men of high degree;
The baser sort are vanity;
Laid in the balance both appear
Light as a puff of empty air.
