Andrei Codrescu

........................................................
The above cartoon was sketched in 2007.  I'm working on the front cover for the next American Dissident, which will feature Codrescu et al.  So, I was looking for a photo of him, then recalled I'd done this toon, so decided to post it.  Kevin Larimer (Poets & Writers mag editor) will also be featured, so I hunted for his photo and noticed the old toon that I did on him appears right away.  Now, that's great!  Thanks to the internet, I've actually got voice... at least for the moment.  In essence, when someone does a search on Larimer, he or she will not simply find hagiography, but will also notice my critical cartoon right away.  Larimer refuses to permit my voice in P&W.  He is not by any means an exception.  That sad state of poetry in America, as a backslapping and self-congratulating game that ostracizes anyone daring to criticize the backslappers, is the rule.

The diversity program falls under Seth Allen's sector, which is why he is depicted in the cartoon.  The PC student newspaper editor informed me that there were inaccuracies in the above cartoon, in particular:  one of the two women depicted in it had graduated.  He did not tell me which of the two women.  I responded that both names were the only names listed on the Women's Union website page.  The two women were contacted.  They did not respond.  That is why I am keeping the cartoon as is.  The Women's Union to date has refused to respond.  The editor would not publish the cartoon because it was not authored by a PC-connected person.  Hmm.  Seems like one college has the right initials!
