Q Toon: Same Sex, Mixed Politics

As I told my editors over the weekend, I was trying to come up with an idea for this week which didn't involve drawing a whole lot of empty chairs for the second week in a row.

Last week, there were only 20 chairs showing in the cartoon (more before I decided to display the dialogue along the bottom of the cartoon instead of in a balloon). I'm not counting them this week.

The roster of Democrats coming out in favor of bona fide marriage equality seems to be growing daily -- including such "red state" politicians as Senators Claire McCaskill and Jon Tester. It must be keeping the contributors to Wikipedia's list of supporters of marriage equality on their toes.
