Tain't Funny, McGee

Madison, Wis.

I could not believe my eyes when I saw the April 28 "Comix Nation," depicting Ronald Reagan and Charlton Heston in "Lost Marbles Valley." It is impossible to understand why Rick Meyerowitz thought this the least bit comic. It is even more impossible to understand why The Nation published such a thoughtless and cruel cartoon. Shame on you!
