CARTOON: “Thad”

Will Longwitz, who is running for State Senate, is a good guy. Met him. Met his family. I like him. He sent out a flyer that had an endorsement from “Thad.” In Mississippi , when you hear “Thad” you think Senator Thad Cochran.  His name is like Elvis. You don’t need a last name to know who he is. The “Thad” that endorsed Will apparently wasn’t the Senator. It caused a minor dust-up and is worthy of a cartoon. So drew one.  So I got this breathless bit of hate-mail this morning:

Your cartoon in today’s paper regarding Will and the personal postcards his volunteers (iuncluding me) sent on his behalf is based on a LIE and I see no humor whatsoever in it. You really should have your facts straight, Marshall, before you spend time maligning someone with your creativity.

I answered her politely with this:

Enlighten me then, that was REALLY Thad Cochran’s endorsement? I like Will but thought the card was silly. I’ve been disappointed at the tone of the race (and that includes Charles.)

Here’s the cartoon. You can decide for yourself.
