Something a little different today, a bonus cartoon. Actually it's one I posted previously (Jan. 11), but with the caption reworked to reflect the news that the California Supreme Court has passed a ruling clearing the way for gay marriage in the state. The homophobic element is up in arms, screaming that this is an affront to the natural institution of marriage between a man and a woman. This argument ignores, of course, the obvious, that no institution. by definition, is natural, not to mention that mankind got along for hundreds of thousands of years before coming up relatively recently with the custom. Even the creationists ought to have some trouble with this argument, since Adam and Eve never got married, and neither did Cain after he iced Abel, schlepped himself off to Nod, east of Eden, and found himself a woman. Which brings up another question, where the heck did all those Noddians come from?

What!? Eve and Adam never got married. Thought for sure that I got an invitation to the wedding at the Church of the Perpetual Eden. Could not attend as I had a prior engagement to eat a peanut butter and jam sandwich but I have it on the best authority that Eve's fig leaf was designed by Oscar LaRental and Adam was attired in a tasteful palm leaf motif. Got all this news from the local newspaper which has never been known for it's factual reporting. If the news is printed there, it must be true, says I.
Great cartoons, John C. Love your commentary. Sure that this latest will dominate the news for at least a day or five. Certainly getting more coverage here in San Diego than Hillary has had in the last two months.
