Safe travel, Pope Francis- you were a good man who left the world a better place. You will be long remembered, not least by the little sparrows of God's flock.

Thank you Liza as always I appreciate your artistic talent and I loved the drawing of Pope Francis. Ironic that I attended mass on Easter Sunday where we prayed for the Pope and for world peace, and that in a day he would be gone. As a convert it’s hard to understand what will happen with the election of a new Pope.

We are in a totally different territory now with the taRump Administration and the continued problems with his policies, his cabinet. And the alarm fire with the tariffs which are heading us to a recession. Appreciated the distraction of the street news vendor drawing.

I finally got my wallet out in order to pay for my (formerly free) subscription. I want to support what you're doing and occasionally make comments.

I was first introduced to your work when I received my Earlham College magazine several years ago when I was a librarian at Earlham. Back then, I noticed your name on the cartoon cover. I'm now retired, but just recently the newest issue arrived and, to my delight, --low and behold--another Liza Donnelly cartoon graced my Earlham magazine cover. Grateful!!

Wow. That video of those goons trying to drag that woman out. I would have yelled....you broke my arm...you broke my arm.....and then maybe others would come to her aid. This is so Gestapo-like. I see it, but I can't internalize it. Oy. Love the colors in the vendor drawing. xo

Pope Francis was ordained a priest in 1969. I was also ordained a priest in 1969. He embodied what it means to be a Christian---A life of love and acceptance of every person, rich or poor, and especially those in need. Unfortunately, today's administration in Washington must be the most anti-christian group ever elected. We must do better.

The video of the woman being dragged out of the town hall is mortifying and a harbinger of what is to come as Trump tries to consolidate power. I shared the YouTube video with my local girlfriends. Thank you for sharing it with us and for your video of drawing the street vendor. You are the best 👍

Shame on Newsome. Shame on those enabling Trump & the bullies. Thanks to Pope Francis, and to you, Liza.
