A bit of explanation for the use of this cartoon it warranted. Over the years, text book publishers have requested permission to reprint cartoons of Don's that had appeared in a variety of magazines (usually mass market magazines).

The text is quite varied including essays, short stories, poetry, dramatic script and, of course, cartoons.
