I told my mom that a lot of young people use the Mac and older people use the PC. We did research together on why Mr. Obama changed his mind and I thought it was a good decision because it sounded like Mr. McCain would have gotten a lot of money from other people anyway. After my mom made me do research on what happened, I really thought your cartoon was even better and it all made sense. Even Mr. McCain's poster. It was really nice (and even cool) of you to write me back. Thank you. Len 8th grade Mr. Bok,

Can't say I blame him on that one. When McCain couldn't guarantee the interference of the 527s, he backed out. Can't say I blame him on that one.

I'll post new cartoons to a new website, bokbluster.com, and link back to this site for archive material. Len, I bet your teacher wants you to think about the cartoon for yourself but a lot of people had trouble with this one so I'll help you out. It's a take-off on the Mac/PC commercials on tv. Obama being the hip and easy to use Mac while McCain is the stodgy and somewhat non intuitive PC. McCain and Obama promised to accept public funding so as to reject the allegedly unfair influence of private contributions. McCain kept his promise but as soon as Obama broke his promise as soon as he realized he had far more money available from private contributions. He amassed over a $600million war chest enabling him to buy massive amounts of air time. Campaign reform was McCain's pet issue and public campaign financing is now probably a thing of the past.

What does the money falling out of Barack Obama's pocket means? And who is Mac and who is PC? Thank you. Mr. Bok, I have a few more questions.

My teacher asked students what does your caption convey about the opinion of the cartoon. My mom thought it was a good idea to ask you personally. Can you please tell me what opinion you were trying to convey. Your cartoon says that Barack Obama broke his promise but that people didn't care because they like his operating system. But I don't understand what his operating system is. Can you please explain? Thank you, Mr. Bok. My name is Len.
