Maya Angelou

Watch out!  Here come the hagiographies... like a landslide of rhyming feces.  When the hack politicians, hack academics, hack literati, and hack newspaper journalists toot their hack horns over a poet, you know damn well that poet was a hack poet, a hack established-order poet of the "beloved" sort.  Maya Angelou just croaked, you know the "caged bird" poet who decided to live cocooned as a caged-academic bird and made more money than she could swallow as a Hallmark Greeting-Card Verse Sellout.  Anyhow, here's a couple of toons I did in 2004 and 2001... early stuff... on that caged bird.  The first one depicts Bill Cosby who dared speak out of PC-party-line format regarding black Americans.  The second one depicts Maya as trustee at Bennett College, where I taught in 2001 and 2 or thereabouts and can be found here:  http://wwwtheamericandissidentorg.blogspot.com/2009/02/american-dissident-sexist-and-racist.html.
