TALK TO YOUR KIDS ABOUT TELEKINESIS

There is more than one way to get rid of a bully, but I prefer the telekinetic methods taught by Carrie White. All one really needs is mental focus and modest supply of silverware. Book her today for your school or workplace!

In the course of making this cartoon, I stumbled across the U.S. government’s anti-bullying site, stopbullying.gov. I think this is Melania Trump’s project, no? Honestly, the site looks pretty good, with diverse faces, lots of potentially useful information, and even a section on LGBTQ youth. But…

THERE’S A GIANT ORANGE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

How ironic, of course, when you consider who Melania is married to… a text book definition of a bully, to be sure, and about the worst possible role model one can imagine when it comes to NOT being a dick to other people. Blah, blah, blah — no examples needed. I can’t help but see the entire site as a desperate call for help from Melania. But I digress…

Carrie, yeah, wow, what a film. I’ve never read the book, because I’m a loser, but the original movie is still spellbinding. For me, though, it’s a bit like the Exorcist in that I find the movie so brutal to watch that even though I worship its awesomeness it’s hard to push the play button.

Thanks for reading! Bring your appetite next week for a special Turkey Day edition of Grinsane (launching Thursday instead of Friday).
