I’m torn here…I could make a comment about your cartoon holding a clue to my perception of what is due to come from the Republican Convention, but with Isaac’s havoc I’m not sure that I don’t feel sorry for everyone involved. It makes it much harder for me to make snide remarks. So, I maybe I should just say that I liked the cartoon very much? D

I only use ropes for jumping and hanging out clothes myself. I don’t get why he’d be pulling it in a circle either.
