I.M. Dedd is Not So Much

July 12th, 2008 by cooper

My old blog­ging friend I. M. Dedd, (Paul Mal­den for the pur­po­ses of this), sub­mit­ted a car­toon to a natio­nal con­test and it was selec­ted as one of 12 fina­lists! The con­test was spon­so­red by the Union of Con­cer­ned Scien­tists and the topic was: “How Govern­ment Inter­fe­res with Science.” Hun­dreds of entries were sub­mit­ted nation­wide and were jud­ged by a panel of pro­mi­nent car­too­nists inc­lu­ding Wiley Miller (the crea­tor of Non Sequi­tur) and Puli­tzer Prize win­ner Signe Wil­kin­son (Phi­la­delphia Daily News). The 12 fina­lists will be fea­tu­red on a 2009 calen­dar from the UCS.

For those unfa­mi­liar with I.M. Dedd, he ran a the great poli­ti­cal car­toon blog Dead Guy Lives until Novem­ber of 2006 when much to the dis­may of many he left the see­mingly inc­rea­singly manure filled pas­tu­res of the blo­gesphere for pla­ces more pristine.

Rumor has it Dedd will be back on the blog­ging air waves soon.

I encou­rage you to go to the link and vote for #9 Paul Mal­den. It takes not a minute to vote for # 9.

Peace

This is another public ser­vice announcement.

    I was going to vote for Paul Mal­den but unfor­tu­na­tely that site requi­res my name & home address which makes me kind of ner­vous.
    Makes me think I’m asking for more Jehovah’s to ring the door bell.

    I enjo­yed his crea­tions quite a bit.

    OK, I voted any­ways, but if creepy weird guys start calling me I’ll hold you responsible

    I voted, but for some rea­son I left the “t” out of my email. It still wor­ked as far as I know.

    The crac­ker thing cracks me up. In a sad sick way.

    I voted the other day and should have put it in my blog. but I’m rather self cen­te­red these days

    Do hope Paul wins

    Really into PSC’s these days :) Loved you on FISA – pro­blem is there is no choice. I can’t go through another 8 years of this
