Why is this raven such a smart aleck to Poe (and the man in the cartoon)?
I’m sure you recognize that this cartoon is a take off on Edgar Allen Poe‘s black raven, in the poem, The Raven. In the poem, the bird chatted to Poe in his study, about his recently deceased lover, Lenore. When poor Poe asked if he would see Lenore in heaven, the black bird kept saying, “Nevermore.” 🙁
I just California-ed the story to end: “Maybe one more time.” ;0
I think I should put this bird cartoon in both the Law and the Political categories. I was thinking the New Yorker would buy it at the time I originally wrote it, and that category would work, too.
Since there’s something so scholarly about the law, always looking for loopholes, rewriting, examining the issues one more time, it makes me think of Liberals and their pansy ways…and that’s politics, right there.
We have the 3 strikes law out here in California, yet criminals almost always get one more chance with Liberal judges. One more time.
Here’s how to buy this or any law cartoon for powerpoint, law journals, newsletters, books, etc. Other bird cartoons.
