Yeah, hunters are terrorists. Unlike anyone who lives on a diet of meat from the grocery store, obtained from animals that lived Auchwitz-like lives in tiny cages from birth to death, sometimes never once seeing the sun. If you eat meat that other people killed for you, I guess that absolves you of the disgusting sins committed in your name to get that meat to your table? While I, the hunter, am somehow a terrorist for feeding my family on free-range, organic meat from animals that led a healthy, natural life in the wild before having one bad afternoon.

Pardon me for finding your implied standard outrageously hypocritical. As a hunter, I feel very strongly that what I am doing is the next best thing to being a vegetarian. I started hunting for food because I believe that the experience of the animal matters. The majority of your readers (and you as well? I won’t assume) buy it pre-packaged at the supermarket in order to avoid admitting that the animal matters. How dare you demonize me.

Wow…is this the first time you’ve ever read a cartoon? Here’s a tip… they’re not real and the dialogue is geared to fit the character.

I do believe that Steamrabbit is a bit touchy on hunting! Chill, son. Cartoons are usually satirical, although I do agree some are offensive. However, if you look at the explanation of the series, you’ll see that the artist is giving a “wry look at the absurdities of every day life”. The two characters illustrated look like Nixon and Clinton to me!!!

why is it that you hunters get all “up in arms” about a little satire? and since we are chucking our two cents in, i think that all the rest of the meat eaters are pretty ridiculous, too. just because it is shrink-wrapped doesn’t make it less a corpse. but, i still think that wiley is hysterical. and i’ll chuckle when the girls take down a factory farm, too.

A reasonable objection would be if the strip was unfunny, blatant, or a rehash of the author’s previous ideas and opinions. But as long as it’s funny, clever, and original, you will take the abuse and like it!
That said, I don’t think this story’s really up to Miller’s usual standard in the areas mentioned. It’s funny enough, but only just.
