I've been looking over some of the old cartoons. The Libertarian Man's have been faxed-scanned-compressed-and converted to the point of illegibility. Over the next few weeks I'm going to redraw them. And maybe even throw in a new one. Either that, or finally find a way to kill the damn character once and for all.

But right now, this one is relevant again.
