Democratic Underground - Wiley sends his thanks to Democratic Underground

I sent him an e-mail wileyink@earthlink.net when I saw another thread on this brilliant Non Sequitur toon this morning:

"Dear Wiley,

There is a thread about this toon on Democratic Underground.
Perhaps you would like to take a look at it. I think the number of
posts will expand during the day and you'll be pleased to read many
of the thoughtful posts regarding this subject, as well as the
remarks in appreciation of you and your insight."

He wrote back:

Thank you for passing that along. Could you just pass along
my thanks to everyone there for me? I'm a bit hesitant to post there
myself. I just don't have that kind of ego. I'm the kind of guy when
receiving any such praise that will just hide in a corner and say,
"aw, shucks..." But I am VERY grateful for all the kind words.

And it's actually more important for them to say these things to the
editor of their newspaper. They are the ones who decide what goes
into the paper and what doesn't. Maybe if editors started hearing
more of an outcry for more thoughtful commentary and satire rather
than the tepid, safe material that makes up the majority of the
comics section (as well as the editorial page!), they might actively
seek it out rather than shy away from it. And, in doing so, they
just might find more people start to read newspapers again.

Wiley

Wiley is inspiring us to keep thinking about what's at stake, and to act on it. In the words of Andrew Jackson and Wendell Phillips, "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."
