The United States & its citizens think that this party life will go on and on. That their individual responsibility isn t important, but at some point in time payback will come. Our children, your children, will ask you “What were you doing? What were you thinking?”

Brenda, Thank you for your comment. This cartoon has a “Twilight Zone” like origin. I didn’t spend one second thinking of this idea. On August 5th I woke about 9am & this cartoon was in my head. Upon waking, I immediately had to make a rough sketch so I wouldn’t forget it. I felt that I had to get this cartoon done as quickly as possible. We continue to rush blindly to a pit of no return. This country acts like a cliche character in a horror movie. Instead of walking away from the creepy house on the corner, the character always goes in & meets with a painful death. America has become a cliche horror flick. I often have wondered why the 5 letters between the A’s spell the word CRIME. What is happening in America is a crime to the heritage of our country, a crime to the future of our children & a crime to the world. We have become Rome near its fall & when we do, the economic “tsunami” will engulf the entire world within hours.
