Seriously — it’s like two guys, two drawing boards, two newspapers, one brain — and I don’t get tired of pointing it out.

Even though all along, Sun Valley’s defense has been that they shouldn’t have to pay worker’s compensation because their former employee was an illegal immigrant, Sun Valley owner Hugh Morton claimed he just learned last week that the employee was illegal.
So apparently we are to believe Morton was completely unaware that his company had been fighting this in two court cases since 2007.
This was going to run in the Journal Star, but it was pulled somewhat last-minute due to concerns over the crucifixion implication. I was trying to say “Pelini is holding his arms out like his hands are about to be nailed to some wood.” An informal test audience thought a reader could appreciate the cartoon without getting the crucifixion subtext, but the concern was that the Journal Star approved it without getting the fact that it was suggesting that type of execution. That’s the kind of thing I don’t want my clients realizing after the cartoon is in print.
