We print the decals that enabled the killer - and the signs that express your sorrow about the killings

POGO had an eye for the absurd
Sometimes I swear, only Fifties cartoonist Walt Kelly could dream this sort of stuff up.

You might recall one of his classics from that period.

Its a hot day in the Okefenokee Swamp and suddenly Pogo and all his little animal friends are greeted by a pair of wise guys trying to sell snake bite cures out of unmarked suitcases.

But Pogo & crew protest “there aren’t ain't snakes in our swamp !”

“Fortunately for you”, reply the the two made men, opening another suitcase, “we also brought along some snakes.”

Kate —— and Edith, too.

Hard to imagine anything sweeter than a tiny rural print shop earnestly printing free signs to put in your window to express support for the families of the 22 dead in the Wortman murder spree and suggesting you give $5 per sign to the victims families.

I saw their offer on the Facebook page of their employee Peter Griffon from Portapique.

Now MacLeans Magazine says that employee Pete had earlier done a little off the books moonlighting at the shop - printing up the illegal RCMP decals that enabled Gabriel Wortman to so successfully evade police while murdering 23 people....
