Why does Slug ALWAYS show everyone & everything puffing on a cig? It annoys the Hell out of me.:mad:

I’m not sure whether this is BBQ or MPSIMS or GQ, so if Moderators want to bounce it, go ahead

Why can’t all cartoonists be as wholesome and fun-loving as Mort Walker, Chip Brown, and Jonny Hart?

Ok,Doggie boy, I get your point, but you did not get mine, it appears. I am not saying he should never do this, in fact, at times it seems to lend a certain impact. But why so often? and why when it seems to add nothing?

I’m not a prude or censor-- I didn’t complain about the animals in fishnet stockings did I? But it seems like Slug can’t draw a creature without a cig, whyso? Hey Slug! You out there?

Smoking looks cool. 🆒

I don’t smoke, but that’s not the issue. Facts are facts.
