Running for Your Life: If the Greats Were With Us Thursday

My pal Mickey Siporin (1941-2005), from a cartoon entitled Millennial Meanderings ... What is the muse that fueled the work of this incredible artist and enlightened reformer and devoted friend and father ... "I'm much too young to be this old . . ." The new work that flew off his pen in the spaces of the periods of the ellipsis, beyond and to infinity.

It is hard to believe that Mickey is gone ten years. What would he have made of our abuse of drones, the Kardashians, Edward Snowden and . . . Bernie Sanders !!!! I swear he wouldn't have been surprised at all with the first three on this list. The fourth? He'd be going door to door, riding the Bernie Bus and doing a daily cartoon.

He is missed.
