ffagpoCe IS Letters to the Editor Dear Mr. Editor and Mr. Artist: Is the true nature of Athens and its "progresive" existence only now apparen or is this merely the work of that horrifying common creature known as the OVEREAGER ARTIST? — i.e., a somewhat talented individual who will do anything crass, vulgar, or plainly pathetic to sea his work in print. This cartoon offends heterosexuals, homo- sexuals, and a fine bdnd. What a coup! Why draw more? I'm sure an encore of fitting magnitude would tax your available mental faculties. I am a female .heterosexual. For the small-minded, etc. artist, I will attempt to define: I am a girl who likes guys. I also like music. I have seen the Indigo Girls three times; at NO time have I seen anyone to compare with the pecp'e in this cartoon. What have I seen? — you ask with genuine interest, as you (I'm sure) would not be so close-minded as to stereotype people or music by such an inane qualification as sexual preference. WELL, I have seen nice, friendly PEOPLE who want to listen to a good band.
