The latest Benny & Sid's Your Public Service Announcement; Salem's only original cartoon strip.

(Salem) - As the election draws near the possible outcomes creep into our dreams -- or nightmares as the case may be.

What if Barack Obama is cheated out the presidency? What if riot tears our cities apart?

What if in the event of an Obama victory red states begin to secede from the union? Ever be mindful that any world you can imagine exists somewhere in the omniverse.

With the help of Leonardo of Salem and his omniverse browser we can glimpse such a world.

Benny and Sid`s Your Public Service Announcements #16

(Salem) - The weeks running up to the election have been tense. Benny & Sid would like nothing better than to get out of town, go on vacation or just take a walk in the woods, but the most important election in recent history is taking place and they'd like you to know what they think about it. This past week they've taken the time to spruce up their studio so that it has a more professional look and feel. Now if Sid can just convince Benny to dress up in something different than a t-shirt ("But it feels comfortable!") they'll be a distinctly class act.

Benny and Sid`s Your Public Service Announcements #15

(Salem) - Politics keeps the blood pressure high. Sid experiences dreams in which he watches Ronald Reagan and Sarah Palin discussing their paths to power.

Vote NO on measure 60.

(Salem) - Benny & Sid's rating are dropping. The Return of Nota Bene appears to have pre-emptied their slot and drivers around Salem don't appear to have noticed that The Daring Duo have stopped posting their public service announcements. Will B&S lose their jobs and become yet another statistic in Oregon's unemployment rate? What will the boys do next?

Benny and Sid`s Your Public Service Announcements #12

(Salem) - This series of public service announcements has just reached a dozen and already problems are beginning to appear. Are these difficulties just a matter of bad luck or is there some deeper issue? One which challenges the right of free expression in America?

Benny and Sid`s Your Public Service Announcements #11

(Salem) - The announcements this week (no surprise) relate to the irrational campaign statements of the GOP. Little is said, however, of the much despised Sarah Palin who we'll let others trash for the moment. A reflection on W's statements at the Republican convention and a summary Hell-NO! to measures #58 and #60.

Benny and Sid`s Your Public Service Announcements #10

(Salem) - This week we have two announcements regarding perky Republican candidate for Vice President Sarah Palin. (There was too much to tell in only one.) Also trade your go-go boots for hip boots as the President prepares to "protect" New Orleans from Gustav.
