Eat In Peace

First it starts with harassing a diner whose politics you don't agree with. Next, somebody throws a punch; maybe it's a security guard or a protective spouse. Tables overturn, glass shattering on flesh then, a gunshot or two or a hundred and two if somebody's packing an AR. That's how this can go if we're not considerate of each other's space. There's a safer way to handle it. Let editorial cartoonists handle it.

Start by collecting the work of your favorite editorial cartoonist say, mine. When you have a large number, say, 200, show them to the favorite target of your frustration as they try to eat their dinner at the local watering hole. If they get angry, tell them it's not your fault. Blame me, the cartoonist. I'll take the heat; that is, my cartoons will take the heat. They have to be good for something after they're printed out. It beats using them to line a birdcage.

Very shortly I'll be posting only one blog and one editorial cartoon per week on LinkedIn. If you like my work enough to pay a small fee for it, please join me on Patreon.com/Englehart.
