I got a call from the Anti-Smoking people. They're very upset about the way smoking is glorified in the Travesty documentary. I promised I'd post a notice that smoking is hazardous to one's health if they would denounce me in the mainstream media. I figured it would do wonders for the traffic here. These are the same people who want warnings on those movies in which anyone but Hitler, terrorists, or serial killers smoke. I'm no fan of smoking, and have never smoked in my life, but if some cruddy actor needs something in his hand to give his rotten performance verisimilitude, then I say let him have it. Things are getting out of hand. I can see it now, a notice when you walk into the theatre: "Warning. This film contains a scene in which someone rides in a car without a seatbelt." Or how about: "Notice to Parents: Some characters in this film are eating foods that may contain transfats." If some kid becomes interested in smoking because he wants to emulate Travesty and Cutie, I want to be the first to know.

Well, if this isn't typical of T, then I will eat my hat, so to speak, that is. Nevermind the smoking disclaimer, there needs to be a warning posted for females about males who have no conscience in certain areas below the belt line. Not saying that C isn't old enough to take care of herself but obviously, she is too easy to woo. May have to denounce John C. to NOW and get a protest going in front of his office, with lots of media coverage for myself.
Can you imagine that anyone else would want either one of them?
Obviously even THEY have to be drunk before they can have sex with the other!
I love Travesty! He reminds me of the few years I made my living as an artist. People expected me to be outrageous. It was fun, I could do or say whatever came into my head, the more bizarre and outlandish the better.
But, these last two cartoons mirror nightmares of both ex-wives arriving unannounced at the same time. And, “interrupting my work”.
I have smoked a pipe since age 16. I am careful not to smoke where it would bother others. On a cruise a couple of years ago I was approached while sketching by a young man who told me it was bad for my health. I told him i knew that and at age 73 I was not about to give it up. I then told him that in Chicago where i grew up there was one thing more dangerous than smoking. Not minding one's one business.lol roger
