I find it odd that you modified the picture on the top of this page. Someone might take the modification as being offensive to one’s religion. Did you ever feel that coming from your background that a cartoon like yours might be taken the wrong way by some or was that your intension?
I suggest you read the article below for which this image was created for. It stems from the imagination of a seven year old child.

I couldn’t help but notice that Ed Stembridge’s(?) COAL, “Requeim for a Truck (or pickup?)” wasn’t listed. That was one of the first articles I ever read here at CC, and one of the best. It’s one the reasons I frequent this site. To be honest, it was so good it put a lump in my throat.
How do I go about submitting a COAL story
