I read the Redmond Reporter to get local news that is not available in the Seattle Times. Things like information about projects being planned or done in Redmond and the police blotter — small stuff like that, not big issues.

For too long I have been irritated by the political cartoons. It is not that I necessarily disagree with the viewpoint of the cartoonist, but I find the cartoons simple-minded and obvious. The stye would be totally appropriate for a middle school newspaper.

Last issue’s cartoon concerns charter schools. The cartoonist obviously blames the teachers and the judges for making charter school students suffer. OK, so what?  Is it really that simple? Perhaps you can print my cartoon concerning the cartoons. Have the rectangular area used for the next cartoon left totally blank except in the center print THANKS.
