Jack, I know this isn't about the annotations but I was wondering what your opinion is of the "Hands Off" protests and the lack of national MSM coverage. Some estimates say millions (?) of people around the world attended but I had to go to the web to find stories about the protest -- most of which were created locally.
In Portland there was a very big protest gathering and even in my small town of Hood River, we had hundreds. I saw some Portland coverage on the local news, but nothing on the NBC national Saturday evening news and CBS Sunday morning had a few seconds of footage jammed into the introduction to a story about Bernie Sanders.
Liza Donnelly did a better job of covering NYC than the NY Times (she mentioned it was not on their home page).
Is it because there was no violence like the BLM coverage in 2020? (What a terrible way to choose stories -- if it bleeds). Or is the national MSM afraid?
As a journalist I'm appalled, as a person, I'm angry.
Btw, fun fact: The Letterman family - yes, as in David - lived around the corner from me in Indy when I was a kid. I worked with his sister in St. Pete and we connected the dots many years later. Their adorable mom remembered “the Morrow girls” (and she did bake amazing pies) and I sort of remember their family. For sure he bagged our groceries at Atlas Supermarket when he was in high school. Anywho, that’s my neighborhood kid story.
Always delivering the laugh's,Jack! These cartoons are the gift that keeps on giving, Thanks, and will reStack ASAP 🤣💯👍

This may be an MSM overview column soon.
We had a huge turnout here. I heard Eugene was big. Man, I can’t explain the MSM mentality is anymore. Fear?
Hard for me to write much on phones at this point. Blind in left eye. Will be fixed soon. I write my columns at 22 point type
I needed this today. 😂 Thank you.

I see your cartoons daily and love seeing them again with the description of your process. I still don’t believe that. Nope. It’s magic.
Alchemy!!!
Yer the best 🖖♾️
The BOOKER/schumer cartoon is your best one yet. So very true.
