Oh Joy! In the letters section of the latest issue of Seattle Metropolitan Monthly is some hate mail about this piece that I did a couple of issues ago. To quote one reader:

 “…I am disgusted and disappointed at the porking pigs, and here’s why: Stupidly vulgar, a crude cartoon like this appeals to kids who don't know what it represents…I don’t want them seeing that.“

Thanks! That just made my day. Hell, it made my week. It’s nice to know that people notice something you’ve done. Even if they hate it. I'm not sure how many kids read regional magazines though. Unless they’re in the market for luxury condos, aesthetic dentistry or to find out the best bars in Seattle. Keep those cards and letters coming.
