Quotation of the Day for July 21, 2017 "I find these days that a wistful form of time travel has become a persistent political theme, both on the right and on the left. On November 10 The New York Times reported that nearly seven in ten Republicans prefer America as it was in the 1950s, a nostalgia of course entirely unavailable to a person like me, for in that period I could not vote, marry my husband, have my children, work in the university I work in, or live in my neighborhood." - Zadie Smith, from a talk given on receiving the 2016 Welt Literature Prize.

Quotation of the Day for July 20, 2017 "I'm so fucking tired of black women always being described by their skin tones! Honey-colored this! Dark-chocolate that! My paternal grandmother was mocha-tinged, cafe-au-lait, graham-fucking-cracker brown! How come they never describe the white characters in relation to foodstuffs and hot liquids? Why aren't there any yogurt-colored, egg-shell-toned, string-cheese-skinned, low-fat-milk white protagonists in these racist, no-third-act-having books? That's why black literature sucks!" - Paul Beatty, from his novel The Sellout. Submitted by: Mike Krawchuk Jul. 19, 2017

Quotation of the Day for July 1, 2017 "I was asked to do other cartoons because of Mr Benn, including Rupert the Bear, which was the worst thing I've ever done.
