Day By Day Cartoon Draws Attention, Ire And Even Inferences Of Threat
Blogimus Prime Andrew Sullivan
got there first and flexes his usual efficient writing muscles to point out a weird Chris Muir
Day By Day cartoon and the equally weird responses to it at some super-sensitive nodes around the Internet. Basically, Muir put a rant about the growing dictatorship infrastructure into the mouth of one of his characters holding a knife, which some people took as a subtle suggestion of violence. I think that's pretty silly, but I'm not sure it's any more silly than the rant itself, which is presented with the comics equivalent of a straight face. I envy the drama and sense of purpose that must come in a life that is perceived by its agent to be living in stalwart resistance to various Washington D.C.
diktats.
