Smothered

This was a hard cartoon for me to draw, but I felt it had to be done. I’ve tackled this issue a couple of times before, as it’s something that resonates with me — especially so now that I’m a father. Here is the news story my cartoon references. This agency exists to safeguard the D.C. children who are most in need of help. Today we learned that the agency’s director, Sharlynn Bobo, has resigned. I hate when I’m cynical, but I doubt the director’s resignation will change the neglectful institutional culture that has contributed to more poor kids ending up in coffins.
