   So deserving! Jen is one of the best, smartest cartoonists, ever!

2. Donald A. Rex Jr.

   Bravo Jen! Love your work and this cartoon tells the tale for many of us.

3. Frank M Hansen

   Congrats Jen. Well deserved.

   As a famous Captain Renault once remarked, “I’m shocked, shocked that a strip by a leftist/liberal that argues that the Supreme Court should uphold the Rube-Goldberg bureaucratic mess that is Obamacre won the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Book Award! Shocked, I tell you!”

   Just having fun, Jen. Congratulations on a fine effort.

   Many a truth is posted in jest.

   All I know is I paid $35,000 for an appendix that went bad 15 years ago. My Canadian friend paid $0.00 for the same surgery.

   If a Rube Goldberg device can save me $35,000, I don’t care if it’s a toaster attached to an outboard motor on top of sewing machine – I just want to save $35,000.

   What Dave S said.

   Congratulations Jen!! I remember that toon when it ran and what a powerful statement it made. As one of two freelance breadwinners in the family (and there aren’t any other bread winners in the family) you can imagine how much fun it is to sit down with the bills every month and “invent a budget” 🙂 everyone is being squeezed these days but freelancers get squeezed on a whole different level.

    Thanks, everyone! As for Rube Goldberg devices, I can’t think of *anything* that exemplifies them better than our current bloated, private insurer-controlled medical bureaucracy. (Sorry, Carl, couldn’t resist! But I appreciate the congrats.)
