HOPE YOU WAS LOOKING AT THE RIGHT STATION

MY WIFE (ORA) AND I COULD HARDLY BELIEVE WE ACTUALLY SAW

SOMEONE ON TV AMONG ALL THOSE FOLK, THAT WE KNOW....ELLOS

SEEN ON ABC'S COVERAGE OF OBAMA'S SPEACH MRS VIOLA C. JONES

Thanks, everyone, for your feedback. When I thought about how best to portray this moment in history,

my first thought was "this moment in history has been happening for 400 years." It was all tied together in my mind,

like an iron chain. This time we're living in is the time our ancestors dreamed of, and held in their hearts as a glimmer of hope.

All their sacrifices and struggles were predicated on that hope. And what we're doing today is the inevitable

continuation of what they began. It's as if as a people we thought of getting out of bed centuries ago,

we put one foot on the ground in 1865, the other in 1965, and on Tuesday,

we stand up. It's all been one continuous motion. Obama's inauguration isn't about him,

it's about everyone who was ever a part of it.

If anyone would like an 11"x17" poster of this comic strip, you can get it at the Candorville website.
