The Wavy Rule, a Daily Comic by Paul Morris: Ograbme!

Filed under: The Catbird Seat: Friends & Guests   Tagged: , , , , ,

I’ll let Paul introduce this. I think it’s absolutely great. “The original Ograbme cartoon, visible here, protested the Embargo Act of 1807 (O-grab-me is “embargo” spelled backward). The ograbme was depicted as a snapping turtle detaining an American merchant by the seat of his pants. And now gas prices are doing their damage to both American consumers and businesses.”
