  1. There are a lot of really neat cartoons in the Missouri Conservationist magazine. All about nature. I think that the artist name is Grace. Might check it out for the magazine.

  2. Well, these cartoons are proof animals have a lot of the same problems as people; I love them all. The bottom cartoon though reminded of the fact I’m not hearing about “restless leg syndrome” anymore, much less seeing pharmaceutical ads for it.
