Oh, dear. Whatever are we going to do without the Rev. Will B. Dunn of the Bypass Baptist Church?
Rest in peace, Mr. Marlette. We're going to miss you.

Rev. Will B. Dunn gave the best definition of “feedback” I ever heard.
He said that when he was a child, it was his job to get up at 4 every morning and feed the chickens. At about 10 in the morning he would get the feed back.
Loved it.

One of the best things about going into the ministry is that you don't have to feed chickens.
Or clean the chickenhouse.
When we move to the country after our last child finishes high school, I'm going to get some chickens - probably Buff Orpingtons if they can stand the Georgia heat, because I like the brown eggs and they're a dual purpose breed. But I have plans for a chicken house with a removable floor that can be yanked out, dumped, and hosed off . . . also a movable chicken pen on wheels that you simply move around the lawn and then water in the fertilizer . . . .

I really enjoyed Kudzu. He was a fine cartoonist.

Dizzy chickens might lay scrambled eggs.

A shame. He was quite a talent, starting in his early 20s as the
Charlotte Observer's editorial cartoonist. I think it's fair to say that he targeted conservatives more than he did liberals, but all ideologies got skewered from time to time. Nixon was a frequent target, but later, so was Clinton.
He was relentless on Jesse Helms -- but Senator Helms didn't take it personally, and in fact wrote the foreword to one of Marlette's cartoon compilations.

He was badly drawn and was finally erased.
Sad news this.

“According to the World, Marlette had been in Charlotte for the funeral of his father, Elmer Monroe Marlette, who was buried Friday.”
Fate is strange.

Nixon was a frequent target You have to admit, Nixon's scandals, ski-slope nose and five o'clock shadow made him an irresistible target for ANY cartoonist.
It's pretty safe to say Marlette was a liberal, but he was willing to go after his own when he really believed they deserved it. (As some of the cartoons posted here illustrate.) And he wasn't as hateful as a lot of liberal satirists are these days. He had a lot more in common with Walt Kelly than he did with Ted Rall.
