Many thanks to my friend Mission for the suggestion that I cover the oil spill in a cartoon this week!

Excellent cartoon.....
Could go all out and do a sequel to the Ryme of the Ancient Mariner....
And through the drifts the snowy clifts
Did send a dismal sheen:
Nor shapes of men nor beasts we ken -
The oil was all between.
The oil was here, the oil was there,
The oil was all around:
It oozed and slimed, and slid and smothered,
All fish and fowl in a swound!
:-) okay...never really got into poetry...but your cartoon nails it!
Rated!!
OH! We could have FUN with this one!
John Donne
Meditation 17
Devotions upon Emergent Occasions
"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee..."
"The Catcher in the Riser"
Try this: a close up of the boat, and a marlin tied to the boat, but instead of sharks biting off parts of the marlin you have Tony Hayward. Or a shark that looks like Tony Hayward? It's a surreal metaphor, but it's also very real. Because Tony Hayward is a corporate shark that doesn't want to harm old fishermermen, but he can't help it because he's a fucking animal.
Nelly, that's a great sequel to the Ancient Mariner!
Jim, you certainly came up with some clever alternative titles!
Gary, thanks for remembering that wonderful passage!
CjackbOnOpen, naturally this could be expanded into panels, but I tend to like the focus on a single panel. You have some clever additions to the story!
