I have no idea how this cartoon came together. It seems like there was a story about someone finding a garage full of jars of feces on the same day as the story about Bob Devaney’s estate sale on the same day as the story about the Nebraska lottery.

Unfortunately, I created this cartoon sympathetic towards Coach Ron Brown’s situation. I quickly learned, though, that if you draw a black man and a Klan member in the same cartoon, there’s a good chance that people are going to gravitate there.

I loved the scatological humor (and still do), but it bothers me that I missed an easy one in this cartoon. Instead of “WASTE site,” it should have said “WASTE DUMP.”

This was the first appearance of Fizgig the Bumbledog, a character that would appear many more times over the following years. He only showed up in this cartoon because I had left too much negative space. When looking for something to fill it, I saw the DN’s front page story on a Halloween costume party for pets. Fizgig, a real Pomeranian dressed as a bumblebee, was in the photo.

This was an angry response to some angry letter writers.
