The publisher of a respected regional newspaper who prints most of my cartoons responded to this submission with a single word: “Cute.” This means he’s going to run it.
I am, however, deeply disturbed that I would post, let alone draw something that would be described as cute. I do not see myself as a trafficker in anything remotely cute. I will tolerate accusations of profanity, prejudice, shallowness, narrow-mindedness, ignorance, and even heresy; but I shudder to think that anybody would ever think of me or my stuff as cute.
I repudiate any cuteness in the above cartoon as wholly unintended. I wish the cartoon to be viewed as a playful poke at the Scripture’s multiple Marys or even as a satiric comment upon the syncretism of Christianity and popular culture. I do not, in any way, accept cute as a legitimate assessment. It may not be funny, but it is definitely not cute.
Even as a kid I never considered “M.P” as being “cute”, on the contrary, anyone who’s mastered the art of levitation on the heels of having “medicine” go down with a “sugar” chaser is well worth keeping an eye on. Who in their right mind comes up with a word like “Supercalafragalistic… ? I don’t know man, that’s weird!
I was actually going to comment on the picture of the guy next to your posts as cute.
Is that you or just a random picture of a guy looking to the right.(my left)
Quixote, I think your attempt at “Irreverence” is cute.
Do you draw those with a stylus or do you use your mouse in paint shop? I can never get my mouse to stay still enough.
I am enjoying the questions you pose. Thanks for the weekly mental stimuli.
You’ll note that I described the cartoon on my blog as “out of the ordinary humor.” I don’t think the word “cute” even came to mind. It’s hard for me to even fathom humor that could be described by the same adjective that you’d use to describe Mary Lou Retton.

Cute kills. Irreverence lives forever.

Flying with an umbrella is, be definition, cute. You have therefore left the door wide open for accusations of cuteness and perhaps, even, cuddliness.
This is not good. Not good at all.
I laughed, audibly at your inner turmoil with inevidable cuteness.
