It’s got to be tough to be the son or daughter of an infamous mass murderer. In every group, however, there’s always a star.

Ted,
I hate to feed the “comments are being edited/deleted” meme, but weren’t there some comments on this post? Or is it all part of your fluoride-in-the-water scheme to get us all communicating solely through cartoons?
How many Americans on the street do you think know the names of Obama’s kids?
There is a thread of annoyance and frustration that runs through a lot of the comments to Ted’s cartoons and Ted’s own work that seems to be an anger at how low the level of the public is, but how would you change that? The simple reason that so many of the “successful” cartoonists are successful is that they create cartoons that are dumbed-down for the masses because anything that requires more is not understood or dismissed. Sometimes it reminds me of the surgeon who said, “The operation was a success, but the patient died.” There is such a thing as being ‘dead right’.
“The simple reason that so many of the “successful” cartoonists are successful is that they create cartoons that are dumbed-down for the masses because anything that requires more is not understood or dismissed.”
Sad but true. Still, it shows a lack of integrity to dumb stuff down just to please the crowd.
Integrity doesn’t feed the bull dog, Russell
My previous comment to this cartoon, innocuous and bland thought it was (like all my comments), seems to have been removed. So can it go !….
