January 2nd, 2014- #DailInks #2 – Thank you cartoon critters!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jan.02, 2014, under Cartooning
Had a thank you to send to the folks at the DMZ – the Dennis Miller Zone. The only trouble I had after \geting my credit card hacked into two months ago was getting my subscription to the Dennis Miller radio program cut due to it being the only one trying to charge the card while it was down. It took some back and forth, but the folks that run the service let me back in with my longevity of 2009. I sent them the above cartoon thanking them for going to the trouble, becuase, apparently, it was difficult to pull off.
