A few weeks ago I saw a cartoon in the Chicago Tribune Magazine that gave me a good chuckle. Later that day I thought back on the cartoon and felt uncomfortable with myself for laughing at it.
The thing is I wouldn't have had those second thoughts in December---before I joined this site. Reading the blogs and forums I have realized that tall girls with short guys was a cause for more discussion than I would have ever imagined. Of course I have not been short since I was 13 and have never been a tall girl so it was not a subject I gave much thought to.
I'm printing the cartoon here to get your observations and not to be funny. Its was by a cartoonist named Bliss and it appeared in the Jan. 11 issue of the Tribune magaziine (I wrote them 2 weeks ago for permission to reproduce it here but they have never answered me. But what the heck lets do it any way.) Click the picture to enlarge it.
Am I being overly politcally correct ? If so it is the first time.
Please tell what you think.

I promise to post regularly--at least once a week--and to respond to comments or questions promptly; probably faster if I don't agree with you.
