It’s the fourth of July! Yes it is. We are no longer controlled by the British! Grill up some animals about it! I certainly am. Come on over!

Earlier this week, my wife got an eight-pound hunk of pork for the barbecue, or, more specifically, for the making of pulled pork sandwiches during the barbecue. And any time I’ve been unhappy over these last coupla days, she’s pulled out the slab of meat, and shown it to me, to cheer me up. It’s worked like a voodoo charm. I should keep eight pounds of meat in the fridge at all times.

In celebration, then, of America’s independence, please enjoy this somewhat experimental cartoon which of course has nothing whatsoever to do with said independence!
