I admit - this is a clever idea. I very much like this cartoon.
However, Mr. Borgman, I feel that it is a bit harsh to brand a prison building with such an insulting label.
As you and I both know, convicts are not necessarily bad people. They are simply misguided, well-intentioned citizens, whose behavior is only labeled deviant because of societal racism and whose insubordination is caused only by a lack of government health care.
Of course, your pun depends upon said epithet. But should humor reign superior over the FEELINGS of all the cons and ex-cons reading your blog?

1. To fish for by trailing a baited line from behind a slowly moving mind.
Though the first poster may have been trolling, I have no doubt that is how Jim Borgman truly feels.
PATHETIC!
Kudos. Almost needs no caption.
Don't offend the cons and ex-cons...LOL
Now I've heard everything.
(I crack myself up.) LOL.
Borgman has always been a bit of a hot dog.
To the first anonymous, come on people who commit crimes are not good and well intentioned, they have little to no value for the feelings, and property of others. They deserve to punished for their actions and should take resoniblity for them as well. I feel the cartoon about cons is great. Tell it like it is Mr. Borgman, Keep up the good work. And as for the liberail Anonymous, try telling a young girl who was gang raped that the men who did it are good people!!
Last anonymous: In the murky waters of the disingenuous the sardonic, the facetious, and provocative are had to differentiate.
PS : I agree, in rating the pros and cons of this one what the heck is there not to like?
PPS: Correction -- "hard to differentiate." (Unless you live in Boston.)
