Published Cartoons: Nov. 20, '07 ... C.B.C. made in China

Jim Merriam is a very funny writer and his columns in The Owen Sound Sun Times are something I look forward to.
I should say that, personally, I kind of like C.B.C. radio. Not all of it, but some of its music shows and comedy shows and other programming are better and more unique than you'll find on commercial radio. It was kind of disappointing to read in Jim's column that a lot of their souvenir merchandise is made in China, what with the C.B.C. being a public-funded media flagship for our country. So I just took the idea one step further. I made every effort to use correct Chinese writing in this cartoon so I used an internet translation service. I looked at a couple of different sites and they used the same symbols. So I trust they were giving me correct info and not setting me up to say something offensive. On the slim chance that they did, then I apologize... but I did try to get it right and I hope I did.
For readers who may be too young to know who Gordon Lightfoot is let me say two things"
1... I'm getting way too old; and 2... He's a Canadian Icon in the music industry. I could have chosen Joni Mitchell, Burton Cummings, Leonard Cohen, or Bruce Cockburn, but I thought that Gordon Lightfoot just seemed right. I almost went with Stompin' Tom Connors 'cause that would have sounded funny and imagining a Chinese person saying that would be good. Maybe I should have gone with that.... but I like Lightfoot, as a singer, better. Come to think of it "The Barenaked Ladies" would have worked well too."
