Thanks for being a good egg Sue! Your chicken scratching has me in stitches! Must say that "cockle-mumble, cockle-mumble, cockle-mumble awk." was exactly what I heard on last Sunday's Meet the Press. :-)

Loved your story and sketches! And I do believe it’s going to have to be what happens with the humans to oust a certain Mr Orange Louder.

Love this Sue. I have a question for you...it sounds REALLY ODD but if you don't ask you'll never know right. Anyway, do you eat eggs? It took me FOREVER to eat them again because I would always feel bad. I consider myself vegan though even though I eat eggs and VERY RARELY fish. I don't eat meat or dairy because I'm allergic to almost everything. It's VERY annoying. I'm not allergic to eggs or fish though. Anyway, wonderful work. I wonder if animals could talk, etc. if they would protest like that... I'm kinda odd though. Can you tell? LOLOL Do you think they would though? Curious minds and all...

Well our cat does protest whenever we're eating and he's not - or when we're not making a lap suitably available. If we sleep late in the A.M. he comes, sits and intently stares until we awaken with the "someone is staring at me" feeling. And If we're late on serving his dinner he very loudly registers a complaint! He hasn't made picket signs yet though.

I eat eggs. I'm allergic to fish/shellfish. I don't eat much white or red meat but a little once and a while as per doctors orders. I'm mostly vegetarian with vegan influences and the occasional meat intake. That said as long as I'm not allergic to it I'll eat it. BTW our very opinionated cat loves beans or broccoli or saurkraut... in addition to his usual carnivore cat diet.

Thoroughly enjoyed your essay this morning. Though our politics differ somewhat, I agree these are and have been for several years, very unsettling times. Thank you for emphasizing the positive through the arts and humor. I agree, it will be the way through.

“cockle-mumble, cockle-mumble, cockle-mumble awk.” The perfect words to put in a mealy-mouthed politician's mouth!
