Oh, how sad. According to the Australian Koala Foundation's executive director Deborah Tabart, who employs a scorched-earth policy on similes, Australia's koalas will be extinct in ten years, maybe partly due to murderous black and white cats:
"The koala is like the canary in the cage," Tabart said.
Is the cage in a koal mine?
The government there continues to deny there is a cuddly marsupial shortage.
Meanwhile, extinction came even sooner for Aaron McGruder's "Boondocks" comic strip. Finding it too taxing to add a few comments to a four-panel cartoon drawn by an assistant, McGruder went off to recharge his batteries and now will not be returning.

I'd comment on Aaron, but I don't have anything complementary to say other than I'm glad to see him going.
I've never tasted koala. Guess I better hurry before they're gone.
I lost any respect I might have had for Aaron as a cartoonist when I read that he didn't even draw the stuff he signs his name to.

I wondered briefly if cat-kicking was a misdemeaner
or felony, but decided I was too far from the truck
to chance it.. (they had three bucks on the wall)
has Tabart checked with the chinese penis eaters
about this ??
