Please be aware that your comments are being monitored. Like all our readers, you are free to disagree w/ my cartoons. However, should you libel and or slander me or my newspaper publicly, we will seek legal remedy. We are also in possession of previous blog entries.

Since Mike says he's monitoring all my comments, I suppose I can just post my response here:

Mr. Lester

re: your hilarious and insane threat to sue me

I appreciate your alerting me that my comments are being monitored. I am not sure if you are aware of this, but that is generally what people hope happen to their comments when they are posted on a website on the internet. I am glad to hear you are also in possession of previous blog entries. I too have internet access.

As a professional courtesy, please consider spelling my name correctly when delivering any future baseless and ludicrous threats because your feelings were hurt. As a personal favor, please stop making racist, ignorant and illogical cartoons.

-August J. Pollak

1. Good luck to Lester on that.

He put his work into the public arena, which makes it fair game for criticism. No jury would ever bother awarding him a dime.

2. He's clearly just a thin-skinned, constipated wingnut with law suit fantasies.

He's the kind of guy who probably volunteered as hall monitor in jr. high school.

5. Trying to bully his way out of being criticized.

That's really the bottom line.

3. Stamp feet. Fuss and holler

like a toddler.

Sounds like that's the stage where Mr. Lester's emotional develop was arrested.

4. Unbelievable. Yeah, good luck with that.

Seems Mikey's just a little more than a tad pissed for calling him and his Islam-o-phobic bullshit on what it is: not based in fact and hateful.

6. Mike "Moe" Lester is a real shitbag and a real embarrassment to the great city of Rome, GA.

Stay classy, Mike.

7. Douchebag Lester needs a lesson in 1st amendment rights

What a moran. He is consistently one of the worst, most unfunny "cartoonists" (and I use the term loosely) out there. He once compared Obama to Jim Jones.

8. It was a group of Saudi-Arabian Muslims who did the remodeling job.
