So I’m writing a “top ten” cartoon, in a format similar to this cartoon<\/a>. But I’m stuck – I’ve only got nine ideas I like so far. So, as I do every time I have a problem, I thought “heck, I’ll ask the blog!”<\/p>\n

The theme of the cartoon is “TOP TEN REASONS NOT TO REGULATE DANGEROUS CHEMICALS IN COSMETICS.” Here are the nine panel ideas I’m working with right now::<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The free market is perfect. If consumers are buying cancer-causing makeup, then consumers must WANT cancer.<\/li>\n
  2. In France, chemicals in makeup are regulated. You don’t want to be like FRANCE, do you? <\/li>\n
  3. Ya gotta suffer to be beautiful. (HER: “O! My skin is peeling off!” HIM: “Yes, but so smooth!”)<\/li>\n
  4. Until we’re absolutely sure a product causes birth defects, we just can’t risk a slight dip in corporate profits. (EXECUTIVE: “Let’s not rush into anything!”)<\/li>\n
  5. Straight white men don’t wear makeup. (SWM: “So what’s the fuss about?”)<\/li>\n
  6. An industry-funded panel of experts said it’s safe. (Puppet in white lab coat being held by business type: “No problem! Nope! No way!”)<\/li>\n
  7. An industry-funded website concurs. (“If it says so on the internet, it must be true!”)<\/li>\n
  8. Why should test rabbits be the only ones to suffer? (BUNNY: “Share my pain!”)<\/li>\n
  9. A pretty lady like you shouldn’t worry her little head about complex stuff like chemicals! Cootchy-coo!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Please post or email your suggestions! If I use your idea, you’ll get… well, you won’t get anything. Except the warm glow of having helped a cartoonist, of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
