The Candidate Speaks
My Fellow Reddingonians (and you gals, too),
I am posting this message to you, the once and future voters, for no reason other than the fact that the cartoon it replaces in this space has been up for a week and I don’t have time to do a new one. I’m busy. I’m contemplating the issues, for you, the lathered masses.
Besides, crayons are expensive and we’re living in tough times. How tough? Plenty tough, pal. No crayons should give you a clue as to just how tough it is. Things are so bad the city is thinking about selling. And they’re also looking into “privatization” — and that sounds like no fun to me. I’m afraid privatization will lead to corporeal punishment, and I can’t stand for that. I can’t sit for it either and bending over is no longer an option as my physique won’t allow it. I don’t even want to know what sergeantization is, but I’m willing to bet it would, in general, be a major blow to life as we know it.
I hope that clears things up for you a bit.
Phil “Philbert” Fountain is telling everyone he’s running for Redding City Council — but nobody’s seen any lawn signs yet. We’ll keep you posted.

Please protect we Reddingonians from corporeal punishment (and corporal punishments, too!)

And corpuscles, too

Is that corporate punishment? I think we get that now - it is the popular thing to do. So why shouldn’t the city jump on the band wagon

I too am against complete privatization of city sevices, proposed by Russell
Hunt, failed city council candidate and now school board hopeful somewhere.
It took Hunt several weeks, to use his crayons on the back of old city council posters.
Philbert, that does clear things up for me for now, and I’ll send you my box of crayons.
Yes, We can! Philbert for Council!

Im hoping that somewhere someplace somebody will do a cartoon that depicts russel hunt as a true form judas goat and throw in some images of ronald reagen and richard nixon dancing naked over a bonfire.

Mr. Phil,
I do hope you are seriously considering running for Redding City Council.
Since I am not currently a resident of Redding, so I could not vote you next November; but I can certainly do phoning, precinct walking, etc.
We need an artist like you on the City Council. You probably think outside the box.
I liked your ‘Laughing Penguin’ when you published it back in the nineties.
We need people like you who are serious but do not take themselves too seriously.
I do hope YOU !!! are considering a run for city council, not just your cartoon character.
Thanks for being a part of Food for Thought: A News Cafe
