Every now and then I'll point out things like human rights violations and shark finning issues. Talking about serious stuff in comic strips does not make light of them but it's done in hopes that all medium will resonate with awareness of what needs to change.
I'm not always in tune with the latest news so I'm not sure if everybody was good to everybody else today (the cynic in me says no). If they were and my strip was pointless, then I hope it stays that way.
