Hi Skeptics: I was to organize an antohology of cartoons for/by skeptics. The working title is "The Misc Files: Laughs from the Minds of Skeptics."

I plan to get a P.O. box in the next week or two, so you can send good quality copies to it [instead of filling my computer memory]. I was inspired by the tiny pile of cartoons I have in the back of my desk that I'm not doing anything with. I figure other skeptics have similar caches.

I'm thinking any profits could be donated to some charitable cause, or even to more than one. Contributors could vote, in a similar way to the voting system of Working Assets [perhaps we'll generate a list of causes/organizations and let people vote a certain % toward each cause]

Hey Trish,

Just got my internet back up and running. Will send copies of some of my things, when you get that PO Box. Great idea by the way.

They (Women Marines) don't have a nickname, and they don't need one. They get their basic training in a Marine atmosphere, at a Marine Post. They inherit the traditions of the Marines. They are Marines.

I sent Nick an email about the idea, and he replied:

Hi Ricky,

Sorry for the delay -- I've been away from the home PC on annual leave.

Yes, sure. Sounds good to me. Feel free to use some of my cartoons in the anthology if it goes ahead.

A good way go through the cartoons on the web site for the more skeptical cartoons is by viewing in bunches of 10, starting at this page:
http://www.nearingzero.net/bunches.html

You'll be needing the higher resolution versions for printing, rather than the screen res ones. Let me know the file numbers you'd like when you're ready, and I can send the high res versions by return email.

Best regards,
Nick.


Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.
- Isaac Asimov
