I'm not saying it's a great joke, but it doesn't insult anybody or misunderestimate science, which is a nice change. If it's a naked attempt to get some fanmail but what-the-hey, cartooning is a business.
Mallard's politics are as obnoxious to me as to anyone, but let's be fair: today's strip is the sort of joke we might see in Crankshaft or The Family Circus.
I would be very impressed if anyone here wrote him and managed to get a response. I don't know how he is with actual fans, assuming he has any, but he sure has never exhibited any interest in responding to criticism, no matter how diplomatically-phrased and non-confrontational.
Hey, we got one day of relief from his horrible caricatures of Hillary, supposedly as a response (albeit an assholic one) to criticism of the gargoyles he'd been subjecting us to. So maybe, I dunno, we could helpfully send him pictures of what an SUV looks like, for future visual reference.

That's easy, I just addressed it to asshole@idiot.com!
Maybe, just MAYBE, they wrote to their newspaper or the syndicate, and they forwarded the message to you?
Why would someone who supposedly receives hundreds of emails correcting his grammar feel the need to display his email address so prominently?
I think our poor right-wing boozebag is just lonesome.
And The newspaper or syndicate must be real happy with what their money is buying them today.
Seriously, I think Tinsley should just turn in a strip that is just his email addy in a rectangle. It would be an improvement.
I just sent mine to hand@sunshine.there .

If he didn't write like a doctor in the midst of a seizure it might be easier to read
