I like Dilbert. Yet it was Doonesbury that changed my life.

Hear me out. Back in High School, I had a teacher who read Doonesbury and knew every strip ever made. If you wanted extra credit, you had to read the strip.

So I did. And the class had to really take note of Lacy Davenport who was based on our Congressman.

During my Senior year, the class went to the county capital to register to vote. It was to be my first presidential election. Mrs. Fenwick was there, gave a little speech why voting is so important, and said she needed students to help her and it would look great on out college applications.,

I registered, and learned everything I knew from this wonderful lady. But I have to think. She was so cool because she was a cartoon, or so we all thought at the beginning.,

Now I know she was just plain cool. And I wish she was still alive because I think she would have been a great candidate for the first woman president.
