...I can tell you his parents (his dad was my band teacher) were John Birchers, so he knows the "other side". I will say they were the old guard Republicans, they actually listened to to "the other side" so Dave got a good upbringing and I suspect this is why he is the way he is with his cartoons. His "nemesis" used to be Brian Basset (who does the comic "Red and Rover&quot and who used to be a political cartoonist in "the other newspaper" that competed in Seattle, but Brian is in the same mold as Dave, and both of their cartoons actually reflect who they are in person.

Hope this helps ...
