It appears that “Doonesbury” isn’t the only political comic strip in America. Now, cartoonist Brian Basset has begun spreading the word of man-made global warming to the funny pages via his "Adam@Home” series.
Below is his most recent installment as offered by Go Comics:
According to NB reader Steve Edwards:
[O]ver the past few days in the Adam@Home strip by Brian Basset, Adam, the main character, has been giving a GW quiz to his young son, and all of the questions are the typical GW hype questions.
As Steve concludes, gotta love it!

GW comics must be a growth industry
April 6, 2007 - 18:54 ET by RJGlobal Warming comics must be a growth industry. I've been having an ongoing debate with the author of another of these mal-informed, feel-good comics.
I won't give the site link, though, because I don't want to give him any help.

April 7, 2007 - 09:04 ET by Indiana JoeI hate when comics take up causes. I turn to the comic page for laughs and maybe a little perspective on life in general. If I want political opinion, I turn to the editorial page and political cartoons. That's why the insipid "Doonesbury" strip was moved to the editorial page by many papers years ago.
That being said, however, I would offer that this particular comic could be construed as making fun of the whole GW scare. It points out a contradiction between rising sea levels versus expanding deserts, and the hysteria about "entire continents" being covered by rising oceans.
If it's MEANT to be taken seriously, I think it kind of shoots itself in the foot.

My take on it exactly. I kinda thought it was clever to juxtapose the two "possibilites of global warming".
I had to read it a couple times though.

Mention of global warming does not = belief in global warming
April 8, 2007 - 00:36 ET by zeoconYou're right, I don't see this as an endorsement of either view. If anything, it's making fun of the logic that global warming scare-mongers typically use.
