Around this time, people in Michigan City were very upset about the lack of discipline in their public schools and were looking for answers.. One of the proposals was school uniforms. Needless to say, I got a couple angry letters on this one. To that I say, hey, this cartoon wasn't made in a vacuum - don't blame the guy who holds up the mirror to a situation. Are those same people angry with all the parents and students who were endlessly writing letters to the editor during that time saying there was a discipline problem that inspired this cartoon?
