Any cartoon that can successfully lampoon the right-to-die issue, an overhyped gadget and our apocalyptic obsessions at once is, like that...
Campaigning has gotten pretty eccentric. “Horse-thing†creators, who include Marsh and his roommates, sent out a cartoon video depicting the bizarre character stomping on the words “other mascots.†Kirshner sent out incomprehensible e-mails to Quincy residents, signed by Astra and then distributed a flyer featuring a picture of the dog with the caption, “Vote...
