Ya know, I figured my "Al Qaeda for Bush/Cheney" comic this week was going to be controversial. Sure enough, I got what BartCop calls "monkey mail..."

Someone just sent me your cartoon showing the Al Qaeda backing Bush. Below the cartoon was the biggest bunch of lies I have seen to date. I hope you get sued for that atrocity and that every paper and rag drops you like a hot potato. Want to publish this crap? I will boycott ANYTHING that I see your name associated with as it must be nothing but NUT HOUSE NEWS and full of lies.
You're a real piece of work. In fact, one time while camping I saw a similar piece of work in the bottom of an outhouse. If you believe all that rhetoric then why don't you just leave. I hear france is looking for a few more idiots!
A perfect opportunity to put Al Franken's awesome "form response" into action, with slight modifications. So I've just replied:
Dear SomeRightWingTroll@netscape.net,
Thank you for your kind e-mail regarding my latest cartoon. As you can imagive, I've received so many positive responses from appreciative fans such as yourself that I cannot possibly answer them all personally. But, once again, thank you for your kind remarks.
Muwhahaha!! :evilgrin:
