It's my howl of rage at the gross assault on intellectual honesty known as the Meese Commission on Pornography, on which public money was spent during the first Bush presidency. The strip also sprang from my fury over the similarly dishonest 1986 Bowers v Hardwick Supreme Court ruling upholding the constitutionality of state sodomy laws, which was issued a week before I drew this.

Happily, the current Supreme Court finally undid its predecessor's misdeed this year, so I can at last visit my home state of Alabama as a non-criminal. The Meese Commission, however, remains a blot on U.S. history to this day and those who participated in its shenanigans as though it were a legitimate inquiry into public policy should hang their heads forever in shame. (Are you reading this, Andrea?)

NOTE: The adults among you can find "Creepy Snuff Porn" online in all of its X-rated glory at the sex site called Hoot Island. Don't go there if you're squeamish, though — or underaged! (Look for Hoot Island's interview with me; the strip is nearby.)
