If you’d like to leave a comment, please scroll down to the next available non-comic blog entry, you know, a word-y one (For a myriad of reasons I turn off the comments on the comics themselves)…and comment away, I love to hear from you!!!!

Order this Cartoon as a 8.5 x 11 print on glossy photo paper and signed for only $10!

Oh! And I almost forgot! I just took a HUGE load of calendars to the post office and still have some left…so if you’re going to buy, now is the time!

Looking forward to the Hathor Calendar? well, this year it’s even better! New and Improved! With not just one comic per page, but two! and sometimes even three (albeit very tiny) comics! And remember the whimsical, hand cut and ‘pasted by a staff of under-paid child labor-ers’ look of the past Hathor calendars? Not here! Not this time! this time I (Heather) worked extra diligently to scan all the parts into the computer-thingy on my desk and delivered it to the printer on a shiny, new disc (is that the right word?) instead of stapled and paper-clipped together and shoved into a folder that’s not big enough and passed over to the printer with embarrassing coffee stains on the month of April. It’s practically like I’m tech-savvy! It’s GORGEOUS. if I do say so myself. And guess what? it’s still the same old low, low price of $15. wow! Here’s the front:

And for International Orders:

Thank you Nayla, who wrote me…

I learned about an aggressive attack campaign on co-sleeping sponsored by “Cribs for Kids,” and an effort to find a test case of a healthy co-sleeping case that results in a child’s death in order to start a witch hunt. Doctors are apparently already supposed to determine where the baby sleeps in a household.

I checked out the Cribs for Kids website looking for supporters since I suspected crib manufacturers, lo and behold here’s what I find:

http://www.sids-pa.org/SIDS-ABOUT-FUND.htm

Both Graco and Toys R Us, as well as Walmart and other familiar names, are sponsoring SIDS of Pennsylvania which is fueling the anti-co-sleeping rush. Please spread the word. Cribs for Kids has chapters in 33 state.

I went all over their site and in Education it gives a list of the causes of SIDS, and factors for removing risk and they’re totally delusional. They promote breastfeeding (or so they say) they promote the crib being in the same room as mother (because, you know, it’s safer for baby to be near mom!), they’ve come to the conclusion that sucking is healthy for a baby (so they urge mothers to “give baby a pacifier”) but they can’t sign off on the safety of adult beds. Yet, and here is the rub, none of these types of groups will think “hmmmm, how about we promote safe BED SHARING? bed sharing meets all the requirements for saving babies from SIDS, so why not promote it and educate the public about the safe way to accomplish it? Here’s one for the capitalists, too, why aren’t the crib manufacturers getting into the family bed business? These people are kooks. Dangerous Kooks.

Anyway, enjoy the comic, more on the way!
