Ha! The scary part of this was the story in the local paper included this section, about which I don't even want to THINK of a cartoon: "The boozy bears are but the latest example of kids ingesting alcohol in ways that might surprise or shock adults, say authorities who monitor the drinking habits of youth. In the past few months, reports have also surfaced nationally of kids -- boys and girls -- inserting vodka-soaked tampons into their bodies, funneling booze into their rectums and even placing open liquor bottles against their corneas in a practice known as "eyeballing," or absorbing booze through the blood vessels in the eye. All are ways to absorb alcohol through the skin, bypassing the digestive system and getting the alcohol straight to the bloodstream."
I provide cartoons for the Evansville Courier and Press and I'm also a Professor of History at the University of Evansville and my academic research is on WW2.This is a personal website and reflects my views, not those of the institutions with which I am associated.
