Sacred Cow Burgers farewell.

Hello folks,

Sorry that this message isn't a notification of a new parody, but I figure this is a necessary note to send. The long and short of it is this: after three years as Butcher of Sacred Cow Burgers, I have decided to hang up my cleaver. I figured I should let you all know why.

Foremost in the making of this decision is a very happy turn of events: I am going to be a father. My wife informed me of this miraculous news just days before Father's Day of this year.

The responsibility of becoming a parent is not one I take lightly. In short, my waking hours are now wholly dedicated to my family in every way. Doing political parodies for Sacred Cow Burgers has a been fun hobby, but it takes up far too much of my free time and has never been intended as a source of income. Thus, I'm hanging up my cleaver and putting away the butcher's block.

I want to thank you all for your interest in my work and especially for the outpouring of support that so many of you gave during my bout with cancer and other health issues in the past two years. I am happy to say that, thanks to your prayers, my health has vastly improved over the past six months. I now work out seven times a week and feel stronger than I have in many years past. My lungs are clear, my heart is strong, my mind is sharp, and my eyes are...well, three outta four ain't bad.

In closing, I send my best wishes to all of you. I've enjoyed making parodies for you folks, and appreciated your input and support over the years. I've had a good run as your Butcher, but now it's time for me to be a full-time family man. Thank you all and God bless.

Sincerely,

Jay D. Dyson

Jay, stay healthy and enjoy being a Father, a lifelong commitment.

Thanks for your creative work.

Hopefully, you will share a creative blast at the rats on special events.

Best Regards,
Dave

Jay:

We're pleased the good Lord has now blessed you and your wife with a child. Regardless, the good Lord blessed you with talent and a special brand of wit, well beyond that of the average political cartoonist.

IIRC, Bill Keane said his best ideas for The Family Circus cartoons regularly barged into the office asking for pencils.

Only when it stops being fun, should it be time to get out.

God bless,
OLA

A baby beats a website anyday but we sure are gonna miss ya!
Congratulations and best wishes!

Jay, I am so excited for you! I just saw this, and I have been praying so hard that you would feel well - but to know that you are going to be a father is absolutely wonderful.

I thank God for you, and I pray that you will always use your powers for good - especially your "spoofy" powers...

You have been a blessing.

[dandelion]

Ping to you, my friend!

[TNPatriot]

Thank You, Jay
Best wishes and prayers as you start your family.
Thanks for making me laugh so many times.

[NewRomeTacitus]

I believe events are crying out for your unique skew and perspective. Hurry back, please.

I agree, it’s time for Jay to make a return, this joke of an election is providing too much good material to go to waste.
