The Comix Files: Anonymous 2

This anonymous letter from 1988 included a torn out shred from the Feb. 17, 1988 (exactly 26 years ago today!) issue of the East County News, our local weekly newspaper. I believe this article was kicking off the East County Comix strip I drew for that paper for nearly two years. 


The reproduced panel "Repeat after me, 'Question authority!'" panel was originally used, I believe, in the Cooper Point Journal, student newspaper for The Evergreen State College. Libertarian Socialist might sound like an oxymoron, but that comes the closest to describing my political philosophy.

As a result of watching too many demonstrations at Evergreen, I grew to hate megaphones. After awhile I concluded that anyone using them was a hustler. Hence, this cartoon panel, which I still love.

But the irony is missed by many. The following anonymous writer was apparently arrested as a result of protesting the WPPSS nuclear plant here in Grays Harbor County. And it never went online. Whoever you are, thank you! for helping to stop that insane project.

Here was her cartoon response:

Technology Way has the appearance of coming to a dead end at one of the two never-used WPPSS cooling towers, Grays Harbor County @Washington.

One of two nuclear power cooling towers that were never used, thanks to two defaults. First the WPPSS default of the 1980s, which was an enormous fiasco, and second de fault underneath, and by that I mean the Satsop earthquake fault. We experienced two earthquakes around 1999-2000 that were 5 pointers practically right under this baby.

So today there are two giant derelict towers visible from the freeway, two monuments-- one to the greedy and one to the gullible.
