Good God

This is effing CRAZY.

Web cartoonist fired from government job and investigated by police for making gun joke in cartoon

I should note that the actual strip that got him fired -- this one -- is no more extreme along those lines ... actually, probably less so ... than some of my Freebird strips.

It's stuff like this that makes me think maybe having my real name on my LJ wouldn't be a good idea.

As I've said, slight anonymity through a "handle" does add that layer of cheesecloth, making things just a little more difficult for people to Google you up. Hey, then again, you can just buy one of the purged names LJ's selling now! ^^

Still, I gotta love the guy for his follow-up (http://threepanelsoul.com/view.php?date=2007-04-30) about the incident.
Comic strips and their artists rule.
