Welcome to Camp Morningwood
A reporter at the paper received this image today in an email. And as gripping as it is, the reporter really wants to know how he got onto that mailing list and then get off. While some correspondence with readers will stroke a journalist’s ego, this one had the reporter pumping his fist with disgust. I think the reaction is a little over the top. I mean, for outright amusement, you really can’t beat it. And since that is about the end of my clever word play, I’ll just slide into the next paragraph. Anyway, that image is stuck in my head and I really need to shake it.
I know “It’s Perfectly Normal” is driving a lot of people nuts for a lot of different reasons. Me, I find a few things wrong with this one illustration alone. For instance, why is the boy sitting up in bed? Was he prepared to rise and do something non-filthy, like deliver newspapers, and then decide to play the skin flute as an afterthought? Why does he appear to be whistling? Doesn’t that just draw attention to his naughty deed? And why are his sneakers laying next to the bed but there is no sign of any pants? Was he jogging el Fresco before he decided to sit down and whittle some morning wood?
Very disturbing, all of it. But I’m done here. Here is an alphabetized list of euphemisms for your further enlightenment.

Your jerk-off. Don’t you know the e-mailer is just pulling your chain? Or are you penny-wise and pound-foolish? So the kid is feeling spunky. Although you wouldn’t see men doing that. And no, I’m not a fan of Rep. John Boehner (R-OH), either.
I love the toe curl. That’s an illustrator channeling his experience. But no tissues, or even a sock? . . . What, is he gonna dump it in the quilt? Get out the OxyClean. . . .
And, yes, where are those pantaloons? Very good question, indeed.
Why is it the Christian Right has no problem with gratuitous violence, but anything involving sex is anathema? Very, very weird.

Looks like he’s going to throw-up. And I mean from his mouth. Aww..and look at the way the illustrator has his little foot curled up. So cute!
