	This months "Santa Cruz Comic News" had a section on
Reagan and famers.  One that made me laugh out loud was
a scarecrow that looks like Reagan.  On it are sitting
crows.  One says to the other: "It doesn't scare away crows,
but there isn't a farmer within 50 miles."

	Another rib tickler was a cartoon of a group sitting
around a table with little placards reading "allies."
Reagan is standing on the table shoving a missle down the 
throat of the person sitting at the place labled "New Zeland."
The caption is "it's customary to swallow and smile."  Across
the page a cartoon shows two terrified looking Russians watching
as Reagan whips a person tied to a rack labeled "New Zeland"
the caption is "if that's how he treats his allies, just think
of what he would do to us!"

	I have no affiliation with the Comic News, it is a free
paper ("The jokes on us")  here in Santa Cruz.  It  recounts the
news of the previous two weeks in political cartoons with a 
liberal sprinkling of Gary Larson's "Far Side" cartoons.  
It has started taking subscriptions, 1 year, 24 issues
for $7.50:

	Comic News
	Subscriptions
	317 Ceder Suite 13
	Santa Cruz, CA 
		95060

	Politics is sort of a joke anyway,  and as a humor junky
a bi-weekly review of the news in comics helps me put it all
in perspective (besides providing some substantial chuckles).
