F-15 takes off: massive antiwar protests. And it's good to hear Kylie Purr's back in the thick of it. So is Pete Ashton, on the other side of the planet.

from Megan Kelso:
> Dear Fellow Cartoonist:
>
> We are planning to place full page ad in the next available issue of The
> Comics Journal containing a cartoonist's Statement of Conscience in
> opposition to the Bush Administration's relentless march towards war
> with Iraq and erosion of our civil liberties. We would like to print the
> names of as many cartoonists as possible who share this view. If you
> want to have your name included on the list, please contact Megan Kelso
> ASAP. We have about three weeks to put the ad together, so time is of
> the essence. Please forward this to other cartoonists you know who may
> also want to have their names included. We hope you will join us in
> this small but important effort. As Al Smith once said, "the solution to
> the problems of democracy is more democracy." Let us behave as if we
> lived in a democracy and speak up!
>
> Sincerely,
> Megan Kelso and Timothy Kreider
>
> A Statement of Conscience
>
> The undersigned cartoonists oppose the Bush administration’s policies> both abroad and at home in its response to the terrorist attacks of
> 9/11. The "War on Terror" is being used as an excuse to launch a
> unilateral and unprovoked invasion of Iraq for political motives, and to
> repeal the rights and freedoms for which this country first fought. The
> America we believe in doesn’t attack first, or arrest its citizens
> without charges. If comic books have taught us anything, it is that
> Superpowers should only be used for good.
