1) I still don’t get the pizza riddle. Looks to me like you did NOT have “no pizza” left on your pan, because the crusts are part of the pizza. Also, what made you conclude that you each had eaten the same amounts of pizza? I guess if I could answer these myself, I would have long ago cracked the “First Ink” barrier, and become more like the highly talented Judy, of Deerfield Beach, Florida, who wins at least honorable mention almost every week.
2) Your editor was right, because it would take a microscope to find it. I still haven’t. How did Bob Staake know back in 1993 that a certain future imPOTUS would have small, um, hands? Could you reprint the cartoon with the offending, microscopic organ extended with a sharpie? If you can’t find the organ again, I’m sure that #47 would be happy to exercise his sharpie to prove to the readership that his is as consequential as his beautiful tariffs.
are you familiar with the "That's a lion" story of the Baltimore Sun? In that one, the entire print run was retrieved and the issue re-printed at the expense of the ad agency that hired the cartoonist. I think he still got paid.
Oh my god twinsies. I too inadvertantly ran a cartoon of a penis in a newspaper and didn't get fired.
This penis, however, was very noticeable. It was in a highlight in our entertainment calendar, notifying readers of a GWAR show. I decided I was tired of running the same handout art for the same band and asked the music writer for another image. Whether he was kidding around or didn't see it either, I don't know, and I would never ask at this point. The image was a drawing and it included a woman impaled on a spike, which I noticed immediately and wasn't thrilled with. I showed it to a few other editors who all said the same thing: "It's GWAR." I ran it, and the next morning, sipping coffee at my desk, got a call from my friend Kellye asking me if I was responsible. For what? I asked. OH.
It's HUGE.
If I hadn't done my tour of the newsroom trying to gin up outrage about the impaled lady, I probably would have been fired on the spot. Instead, the grandboss only said that if I kept laughing he'd have to fire me.
I'm not linking to it because I don't want to accidentally sexually assault anyone's eyeballs, but if you google some obvious search terms, you can find the image.
Okay, you cannot leave it like this, Elizardbeth. I will email you privately, so you have my email, and then send me back the art. EYE, and not you, will decide whether we can share it with the offendable.
M. Staake was just following in the long tradition of hiding genitalia in plain sight in cartoons and especially animated films. Lady parts, while not a favorite "Easter egg," do show up from time to time. For example, in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"Jessica Rabbit’s crotch gets a brief exposure after she and Bob Hoskins are thrown from a cab during a car accident. Someone removed her underwear for a few short frames, leaving her completely bare.
Heavy drug users want to see genitalia in everything they view, no matter how innocuous the image or text. 8==D
Here’s something for the Trump Haters Bunch:

I see a couple of things that 'could' be a dick and balls, but only if the balls have eyes!
It took me a while to find it but dammit...did you have to make it life sized???????
I thought the offending appendages were the flying pigs eyes and nose. Nope, missed it.size does matter. But only in cartoons.
are you familiar with the "That's a lion" story of the Baltimore Sun? In that one, the entire print run was retrieved and the issue re-printed at the expense of the ad agency that hired the cartoonist. I think he still got paid.
FINALLY found it. Now I have to explain to my wife what I was intently staring at for the last twenty minutes.
It was...erm...hard to find.
Let me know how that goes for ya.
I give up. If there's a twig and berries in that picture, it must be covered with snow.
Lower right-middle. On the floor. It's very small but not hidden or subtle.
Still can't find it. Can't even figure out what "lower right-middle" means.
Thanks. Looks like a gun or something.
To my knowledge, guns don't have "heads" at the end of their shafts.

Okie dokie, I sent it. If you need more receipts, I think Kellye is actually a subscriber here, but I don't know how to tag her!
I've searched this cartoon assiduously and still can't find the D-n-B, unless it's depicted in "Mack's" eyes and nose.
Think really small

Anyone who has listened to the Dude, Where’s My Czar? episode of the You’re Invited podcast should have answered correctly.
Which for some strange reason reminds me of the bawdy "No Balls at All:"
Now listen my children, a story you'll hear.
A song I will sing you; 'twill fill you with cheer.
A charming young maiden was wed in the Fall.
She married a man who had no balls at all.
cho: No balls at all. No balls at all.
She married a man who had no balls at all.
For those inclined, I'll let you find the rest of the lyric on your own.
Almost as good as "Hitler has only got one ball; Goebbels has two but really small...." Sung to the tune of "Colonel Bogey".
I had to hunt all over the place to find it. You didn’t say that it was smaller than Trump’s.
The English would say Mary kept a stiff upper lip.
