Hi Bob,
I was
interested to read the arguments by the good professor. He's right
the Nazi's did target the Jews with cartoons. However the allied
forces also targeted the Nazis with cartoons. Even the good Dr Seuss
drew political cartoons, and Bugs Bunny sold war bonds.
Not all
of the cartoons used by the allies showed the Nazis, Italians or
Imperial Japanese in a good light.
Even
in WWI there were cartoons depicting the enemy, often focusing on
a negative characteristic they were perceived to have. Australian
recruitment pestered tended to depict the Germans as "the beastly
Hun", showing bestial features on the German soldiers.
The use
of propaganda does not belong solely to one side or the other.
So with
a cursory glance at your work how can Dr Brad decide that you are
not a freedom fighting cartoonist who seeks to rally the masses
to topple the 'evil empire'.
I guess
it must be his Associate Professorship of Music which gives such
keen political insight.
Always
a fan

p.s.
while I think of it, a quick google search shows that there are
humorous cartoons of Osama Bin Laden, would Dr Brad like to be associated
with Al Qaeda too?

K-mart-you catch my flow) and all of a sudden i see your Jesus dress-up
magnets!
I
mean i know that they're all over now but it was crazynessss!! All
excited, I called my cousin over to brag about how my friend Bob
made these awesome magnets all the while trying to explain the essence
of Union
to her and I swear I sounded like a proud mother.
She...well....she
wasnt too keen on them but the tattooed girly that worked there
couldn't help but overhear and comment on your popularity up in
thur. She was definately a *twinkie* Bob.
Anywayyyy

I am so happy
Hey Bob!!!I
am so happy to see the site again. I was missing it and felt cheated
by what had happened.
Anyway
I have a nice little tale to tell you about the pamphlets. I was
handing them out at school and most people,including some christians,
thought it was funny. At lunch one day some kid came up to me and
asked for one to see it I said ok. He looked it up and down and
some other kid from outside this conversation who had no business
in it said "Man you are straight up queer."
My reaction
to this was How do you figure.Well he says, "When is the last time
you touched pussy."
I don't
know this kid o.k. and I'm not going to go into my personal life
with him.After he spent like 15 minutes telling me he will kick
my ass, not ever actually kicking my ass, he lets me go to eat lunch,
but continues to stalk me around for the remaining time. I guess
he wanted to make sure I didn't spread anymore "paraphanilia", as
he called it,around the school. Well that is pretty much the story.
It just goes to show you how serious these "christians" are.Believe
me though if he is a high example of the christian youth then the
whole country is doomed.Just a little thing called IRONY.
I love
the site and I hope it stays up for many more years to come.

I am extremely
offended by your disrespectful treatment of Jesus Christ.
I pity the sad place in which you find yourself. This type
of comic satire is very similar to Nazi humorist's treatment
of Jews in the 1930's papers and poster art. This is a very
disgusting crowd of colleagues with whom you now can identify.
I will pray for you.

Um, it's a toy
magnet game. You're not being hauled off to concentration
camps and murdered by the masses.
Your comparison
devalues the very real suffering that occurred at the hands
of Hitler. Your selfish desire to align yourself with those
who've truly seen the face of death is far more offensive
than my admission of doubt in your god.
You have forgotten
how to think and reason.
Work harder.

for nazi propaganda art, you will find plenty of so-called
"humorous depictions" of targeted religious and political
groups. |
Bob:
As I told someone else who commented on my letter, if you
visit any public library, or the internet, and search for
nazi propaganda art, you will find plenty of so-called "humorous
depictions" of targeted religious and political groups. The
first step in any hate program is to demean the target group,
as your game demeans Jesus Christ and his followers. I simply
draw the parallel. I am sure you could devise many less offensive
"games."

Hold on one second!
A humorous depiction of religious and/or political groups
aligns ones self with the Nazis? Do you actually foresee the
rounding up and shackling of the Christian community in America?
Are you suggesting that comical illustrations that criticize
a group is nothing short of hate?
Shame on you, you
alarmist fraidy-cat! And you're a college professor??
The difference,
my poor victimized friend, is that no one is demanding your
destruction or elimination, accusing you of being an animal,
demon or lesser life form. Christ! The drawing doesn't even
suggest harm unto you! It's a joke, Brad! At the very worst,
it's just calling you silly. That's all! And it's not like
it's so far fetched either. The talking animals, swooping
angels and magical gardens... c'mon! You have to admit to
giggling a little at those parts!
And you might have
a leg to stand on if you were an oppressed minority, but you
are not. It seems like you wish that you were, but you are
not. In fact, lately there seems to be nothing more prevalent
today in American government than those silly superstitious
beliefs. And I want my stem cell research! I want my anal
sex! I want my abortions and I want my gay marriage!
Okay, those last
couple might not effect me directly, but you hear what I'm
sayin'.
Bob
