What fun I have trying to draw like Dr. Seuss!
I thought about using the “Egg-ual Voting Rights” thing in the title of the comic, but then I thought, “No, it’s horrible. I’ll just use it in the heading of the Newsletter.”

I don’t know what “Twitter Spaces” is, but I’m going to be on one this Monday at 7pm ET, with my buddy Tom Tomorrow. Discover what it is with me.
I hope it doesn’t involve me waking up naked and bald in a fluid-pod.

And this week the GoComics Super-Fun-Pak Comix page has featured comics from this installment (from 2012).
One of the great highlights of my career occurred when I was writing a Lucky Ducky comic about the Euro economic crisis in Spain, and I discovered that his name in Spanish also rhymes. Pato Afortunado!
