In 1986, I started writing for the University of Delaware’s student newspaper, The Review. It was part of my required classes for a journalism degree. One day I showed my first attempt at a cartoon to my editor in chief, and he asked me if I could do one every week. That’s when I started doing Lauer’s Logic weekly for the next three years until I graduated. Many letters to the editor both pro and con filled the opinion pages of the newspaper throughout my tenure there, but my ideas were never censored. (Actually, I think I did once erase a pot leaf from a nuclear generator’s cooling tower at the request of an editor early in my run, but that’s all.) I was lucky to have hands-off editors on my side.

I did 66 Lauer’s Logics by the time I was done. A photograph of my face was also featured as a full-page dart board for conservatives in one April Fool’s issue. It was very empowering to have my little space of printed paper every week where I could express my thoughts to the world at large. Everyone should be so lucky.
