Thanks Jennie! That’s good to see. I really appreciate you sharing my cartoon there. I got pretty down on both FB and IG because of the post-suppression, but I’m so glad this one has done well.

Socialism is what they called public power. 

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Happy School Library Month! I love this quote from (Republican) President Dwight D. Eisenhower:

“Don't join the book burners. Don't think you're going to conceal faults by concealing evidence that they ever existed. Don't be afraid to go in your library and read every book.”
