I read those and teared up. Then sent them to my partners, who did the same. Those were so amazingly moving.
I linked to those earlier this week, and so far, all my commenters, few though they may be, have been completely amazed and moved. Her cartoons are just unbelievably powerful. I’m glad they’re getting more readers…

I know it has nothing to do with your post, but I wanted to get this out to your readers asap—for anyone in new york, the governor’s office is doing a poll on the recent decision to recognize same-sex marriages from other states. to register your support, call 1-518-474-8390. a real person answers the phone, just tell them that you support the governor’s directive on marriage, then give them your 5 digit (New York only!) zip code.
I just did it, it’s quick and painless and takes less than 10 seconds of your time.
