Talk:Mallard Fillmore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the opening paragraph, we read that Mallard is a "green feathered duck." Later on in the entry, it says that Mallard usually is colored black, even in the Sunday color comics. This seems like a contradiction to me. Checkerpaw 17:10, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 7/10 Strip
You cannot find the j@#k, in order to feed him some of his out of context comments back to him. This is what I found looking for the answer to his cartoon dated 7-10. Here's the only email that I found for him. kfs-cartoonists@hearst.com HIS CARTOON Brittany McComb valedictorian of Foothill High School, had her microphone cut off during her graduation speech for thanking Christ.
NOT!!OUT OF CONTEXT In the 750-word unedited version of McComb's speech, she made two references to the lord, nine mentions of God and one mention of Christ.
In the version approved by school officials, six of those words were omitted along with two biblical references. Also deleted from her speech was a reference to God's love being so great that he gave his only son to suffer an excruciated death in order to cover everyone's shortcomings and forge a path to heaven. http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2006/Jun-17-Sat-2006/news/8014416.html
- Tinsley has published his e-mail address several times in the strip, including this one. It's Mallardmail@yahoo.com --Rubber cat 05:31, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Forgetting Veterans Day
I'm not going to just jump in here and write it, but it seems that Tinsley has a new item for the "Events" part of this page. It looks like he forgot about Veterans Day this year: he just posted his standard "thank the vets on this special day" cartoon today, a week and a half after Veterans Day. Obviously he simply forgot about the holiday a month or so back when he normally would have written the cartoon.
Of course this is a terrible embarrassment for Tinsley, as it undermines his mission to convince people that right-wing folks like him are especially patriotic and supportive of the troops. It's quite possible that he was simply too distracted by the elections to remember the troops this year.
[edit] ========
For that matter, there should also be an Events listing for the August 7, 2004 cartoon http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/fun/mallard.asp?date=20040807
in which Tinsley falsely claimed that a Max Planck Institute report suggested that global warming is caused by cyclical variations in the output of the sun. In fact, the Planck Institute report http://www.mpg.de/english/illustrationsDocumentation/documentation/pressReleases/2004/pressRelease20040802/genPDF.pdf
clearly states "the Sun is not the cause of the present global warming". Tinsley apparently did not read the report he was claiming as his source, and instead got his misinformation from a deliberately deceptive article on Telegraph.co.uk: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/07/18/wsun18.xml

[edit] PreMarital Sex?
This page lists pre-marital sex as one of the strips 'targets,' cane anyone point me to a strip where Mallard Fillmore criticizes premarital sex, I'd be very interested to see that.
