Care to buy some fine artwork and support our favorite cause, the continued smackage of Bill Napoli?
Check out this fine auction: a hand-drawn print of a viral cartoon by McMillan in response to Bill Napoli’s abortion legislation in South Dakota.
To quote the artist’s description from her eBay listing:
I will donate 100% of the winning bid, after I receive it, to two places, half of the amount going to each:
1) Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and
2) The Oglala Sioux Tribe at Pine Ridge, South Dakota. Their President, Cecilia Fire Thunder, has spoken of an intention to build a women’s reproductive health clinic on tribal land.
Current high bid is $192.50. Care to raise the ante? Or just laugh at the cartoon? Or give the artist some more linkage? Either way - good on her for her efforts to respond creatively to this absolute pimpsmack to women’s rights.

It never occured to me to call! Geez- all this hard thinking I’ve been doing on my own. Don’t I feel a fool.
Thanks for sharing this. I can’t bid this time, but I’m glad to see it happening.
A friend’s just helped me out and emailed a link which gives details where you can send Cecilia Firethunder donations directly as well, should you choose to show some love and express your feelings for Bill this way.
Uh, I hate to say it, but I found an article a couple of days ago saying that CFT had said that someone SHOULD set up a clinic...but it’s NOT going to be her.
Thanks for pointing that out, Jennifer. Her statement here does seem to contradict earlier ones (linked to by Darlene & Sha on a previous thread).
I’ll email her and see if any of this is right, just in case.
Cecilia Fire Thunder rocks. My latest hero, right up there with Lara Logan.
“a hand-drawn print of a viral cartoon....”
If it’s hand-drawn, then it’s not a print, is it?

Okay, I had to chime in.
Anything by Ezra Keats but especially A Snowy Day
Anything by Don and Audrey Woods: A Napping House, King Begood’s Bath, the “Bear” story as it’s called around here.
Oh! Forgot to add a more modern favorite: Julia Donaldson. My kids love The Gruffalo, The Gruffalo’s Child, Monkey Puzzle, Room on the Broom, and The Snail and the Whale. I like them because I like reading in verse :)…
In addition to all the classics listed above, here are some of my family’s favorites:
My children really loved Curious George - we have two large hardback books with most (if not all) of those stories.

What’s concerning is that he was wearing clothes to begin with and lost them at one point. Makes me wonder what he was about under that stage.

I’m glad I’m not the only person who was easily amused. I wondered if it was because it’s nearly 2 am. And… I did notice that Dumbledore was naked - I mean, all the other puppets have black clothes and…
