The cartoon above, by our own Mike Flugennock, was picked up by Al-Jazeera! (Scroll down the page a bit to see it.)
Now that is distinction for you.

Thanks, gang! A friend of mine tells me that having a cartoon picked up by Al Jazeera means that I'm now officially a terrorist.
I only posted this late last night at my blog, and at a cartoonists' collective site I belong to, http://www.cartoonmovement.com in Amsterdam. I don't know how quickly Al Jazeera picked this one up, though I noticed I'd gotten a fistful of votes overnight; I got an email from the Webmaster at Cartoon Movement early this morning with the Al Jazeera link, and it surprised the hell out of me.

I expect my collection of never-worn Flugennock T-shirts to skyrocket in value now that he's officially an Enemy of the State™.
But don't worry, Mike F. You never had to be a star to be in my show.

Outstanding, Mike! Of course, you'll never be allowed to board a commercial airplane again, but never-the-less, congratulations!

Oh, I've got that covered. I've been drawing this stuff under a nom de guerre for the past twenty years. The name on my passport is definitely not "Flugennock".

Mike, I love ya man. And I'm quite sure that you know that Big Brother knows exactly who you are.
No sweat... when everyone is an enemy you can't keep track of everyone. That is the situation our fearless leaders find themselves in these days. The irony of ironies as it were.
