Cartoon Idea
I had an idea for a cartoon yesterday, while I was listening to the news. But I didn’t have time to draw it — and don’t anticipate drawing in the future — so you’ll just have to visualize with me…
Picture a barnyard with chickens and pigs. The pigs are sitting on stumps by the woodpile and chickens are standing with them. A few of them are wearing glasses, some have pencils behind their ears, one chicken has a big old calculator with a paper roll dumping out scrolls. All the animals are working with pencils and paper, finishing a page, crumpling it up and tossing them over their shoulders. Cows, behind a fence, reach their necks though the fence and eat up the balls of paper they can reach. There are a couple of thick textbooks near the pigs with “Calculus” printed on the covers and spines.
The caption reads “Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy is passed to cattle when they eat feed derived from other animals.”
