Demographics are a B!+<#.

Today's cartoon was a bit of a lesson in boundary pushing for me. The Mercury's demographic is a few decades older than what I had expected. Apparently, not too many younger kids go out and buy newspapers nowadays. So the line, "All your tuna are belong to me" just falls flailing on the ground like a dying fish when someone who doesn't know their internet memes reads it.

I also found out that a letter of complaint was published in the Mercury about my Forestry Peace Deal cartoon! What were they complaining about? They were offended that I used only an "F" and various punctuation symbols/dingbats to disguise an otherwise distasteful adjective and therefore wasn't oblique enough with the word I was referencing.

To that person, I would like to say, "F#@K YOU and the demographics you wrote in on."
