   Just one more week until Madison Bike Week starts. And it'll look _exactly_ like this Stan Kelly cartoon! I'll be one of the smug volunteers. https://www.madisonbikes.org/events/bikeweek-2023/

     @haraldkliems This has got to be the dumbest goddamn thing he's ever done. As if poor people, who are more likely to actually be starving, don't ride bikes. As if kids don't walk/bike to school. As if suburban middle class commuters are sooooo starving. What an absolute piece of shit.

     @roadriverrail @haraldkliems He = Stan Kelly? From _The Onion_? I assume you are unfamiliar with the nature of one/both?

     @emurphy42 @haraldkliems Yes; I wasn't aware this was a work from The Onion. It strikes so close to the style of an actual conservative political cartoonist whose name is now escaping me. I just swapped one name for another in my head and accepted it uncritically. My apologies.

     @cary @haraldkliems Yes, indeed, I got had there. It's so directly reminiscent of another cartoonist's style I didn't stop to think. Thank you for correcting me.
