>Art mimics life ("Day By Day")

>I’ve linked to the cartoon by Chris Muir on this blog for months and enjoy watching the wry political humor.

I haven’t been happy with the personal relationships depicted, with the implication that the 2 unmarried couples featured in the cartoon are intimate. (I even wrote the author suggesting that they marry – the granma in me couldn’t resist. He reasured me that they weren’t at risk for health consequences.)

One of the couples, conservative Damon and liberal Jan, may “be” (in cartoon world “being”) pregnant. Today, despite the fact that both characters are depicted as being in love and happy at the idea of having a child, the differing attitudes about abortion are confronted.
