Taint with fetus in a new cartoon.
You know, I might laugh at these Taint cartoons if they were written by a liberal. I can laugh at Stephen Colbert because I know that he doesn't mean the things he says. However, I know that Mr. Lacey does in fact believe in what he is writing and has quite a history of sticking not so subtle messages in his cartoons. The message that he's giving off with his Taint cartoon is that only tattooed, uncouth, gawfick girls get abortions. I fail to see how his new cartoons are in any way different from the old ones, in terms of message. His faithmouse character remains pure and Taint is imbued with all the disreputable qualities that Mr. Lacey associates with women who get abortions. Apparently the appearance of furry mouse tits has sufficiently distracted you all. Mr. Lacey is not having a breakdown; he knows what he is doing and you are all idiots if you believe otherwise.
Enjoy your mouse tits.

Second panel in the current cartoon featuring a new character; an atheist, counter-character to Faithmouse named 'Taint', (hence her language). Two more panels to go in this toon.
Sort of all over the map early this week with toons in progress, mainly because I felt driven to launch Taint. I plan on having both the new B16 / Vatican Kitty toon and the Al Franken toon completed sometime later today.
I've fallen behind in my post acknowledgments. Here's a partial list minus about two dozen which I'll add over the next day or three.
I thought that name looked familiar. It seems that one of the staffers which Bill Donahue is calling on John Edwards to fire from his campaign for making anti-Catholic statements has displayed a keen interest in the past regarding my cartoon.

As for that latter cartoon, it was more than anything else about my father, who was a gunner's mate on the U.S.S. Hornet during WWII and permanently traumatized by his experiences during warfare in the South Pacific. Two other sites claimed it as art at the time, which I very much appreciated. Here's one which I located via Wayback (the other was on a site called 'Blog On The Run' by Lex Alexander, which seems not to have been archived).

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, and I have a reputation for never 'returning fire' on anyone who has criticized my work.
I must admit though, it's fun knowing that there's a faithmouse anti-fan on the Edwards staff. Additional posts by Amanda regarding my cartoon would be very much appreciated. Gosh knows I could use the publicity.
The Triptych
Three cartoons in progress on the subject of the recent hoax device scare in Boston. The devices were battery operated LED advertisements featuring images of Ignignokt the mooninite from Comedy Central's Adult Swim Aquateen Hunger Force cartoon.
The three cartoons represent a conservative, centrist and liberal viewpoint, fully exaggerated. The bookends feature one of my drawing pads. In the bottom image you can see Mädchen the cat investigating whatever it is I'm doing at 2 AM.
An entertaining experiment, I hope. The third toon will feature an assortment of webcomic characters, so if you're a webtoon fan keep an eye open for one of your favorites.
