The metacartoonist awakes from a brief nap and realizes it's 2005, another
year closer to the Singularity, and the gaping maw of minimalist cartoon
fandom must needs be fed, and so herewith he presents for the delectation
of political newsjunkies everywhere the iconic representation of America
in the last election, knowing full well that the vast majority of sane
individuals will have no fricking clue what a purple America is, but still
and all seeing in that purpularity a sign of hope for the future, that
still small voice of reason reasserting itself in the new century, off to a
rocky start but still not quite devoid of hope -- and so with this iconic
start, the metacartoonist wishes all and sundry a Happy New Year, a happy
Year of the Rooster, and is looking forward to International Talk Like A
Pirate Day, 2002. Arrrrrr.
