Angel Ants
A web comic by Nima Yousefi

I can guarantee you that today’s comic is the only mildly racist comic I will be posting this week. Hurray for me!

Allow me to put this comic into perspective for you. My friend Larry has a list that he’s compiled of the top five most embarrassing Jews. Don’t worry, Larry’s Jewish so it’s totally cool. His list has included people like Joan Rivers, that jerkwad who shot Yitzhak Rabin, and former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer. Being a staunch opponent to Jew-on-Jew hate, I advocated quite strongly for Mr. Fleischer’s removal from the list. My impassioned pleas, along with the fact that Ari Fleischer left the White House in 2003 to fade into obscurity, resulted in his finally being removed from the list and the spot was subsequently filled by Paul Wolfowitz. I have absolutely no problem with this change, because it turns out that Paul Wolfowitz is a total douche.

I suppose I should be fair and balanced and say something disparaging about liberals and/or Democrats. I’ll try to think of something.

Hillary Clinton sucks balls!

Ok, that wasn’t so tough. Balance has been restored. Awesome!

In the future I’ll try to shy away from political issues. I just thought Larry’s list was a fun way to introduce a Jewish ant.

As many of you know I am a strong supporter of the arts. Particularly when they involve full frontal nudity and/or hot girl-on-girl action. Well, by “particularly” I mean “exclusively”.

However, in the hopes of bettering myself — which is hard to do because of how hard my basal level of rocking is — I’ve expanded my artistic awareness to include smaller, less nude, theatrical production. One of which is Jacqueline Goldfinger’s play “the terrible girls”.

Contrary to what you’d think from the title, no, this isn’t a play about all my ex-girlfriends, rather, it’s a funny, creepy, not-too-long play about a couple of really screwed up Southern girls, and some terrible things that they do. Southern Gothic, I believe the genre is called. Super Cool, is what I declare.

The point, which I’m moving ever so slowly towards, is that Jackie’s play has been selected for production at the 2007 New York International Fringe Festival in Manhattan. Awesome indeed.

BUT, like all things awesome, there is also a problem. You see, the exorbitant production costs of the production are not fully covered by the festival, and so Jackie need to pony up some cash to get the production set. Being a starving writer, that’s a pretty tall order. And that’s where we can help.

Jackie is accepting donations to help make her play a reality. She’s not asking for much and graciously accepts anything she can get. I, for example, gave her $10, because I’m cheap, but having done so I feel completely fulfilled knowing I’ve helped make a fellow writer’s dream come true. It’s a good feeling which I’ll probably milk for the rest of the year.

If you’d like to feel that way too, or if you’re just a better person than I am, you can PayPal a small donation to jacquelinegoldfinger@yahoo.com, which she will greatly appreciate.

For more information on Jackie, her play, and how frickin’ awesome she is you can go to her website at www.jacquelinegoldfinger.com.

So support the arts (by giving money to Jackie)!
