I do...Once again, Tinsley shows he's a lazy writer. I don't approve of Tinsley's politics, but if he REALLY wanted to mock Hillary over superdelegates the caption would read:<BR/><BR/><I>"I'm sorry, Billy, but you didn't come in first, even if you include superdelegates."</I><BR/><BR/>The extra words "test score", "C-Minus" et cetera just confuse things; the reader doesn't know whether Mallard's mocking standardized testing, education in general, or the Democratic primary. The nature of the contest in the cartoon is irrelevant; what counts is that Mature Adult won't let the Spoiled Child get away with fast talk.<BR/><BR/>And of course "Billy" instead of "Michael" would have been an extra source of humor for the rightwingers. Like I said, I don't approve of Tinsley's politics ... but there is no excuse for lazy writing.<BR/><BR/><I>"I sorry, Mallard, but your writing gets a D minus."</I>rewinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14008105385364113371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-35454823964920997742008-05-29T00:43:00.000-07:002008-05-29T00:43:00.000-07:00A C- is still passing.
