alt="Letters From Dry Bones">
Posting a cartoon every weekday leaves no room for me to simply share news, ideas, and other stuff with you. So welcome to 'Sunday Mail: Letters from Dry Bones', the new, once-a-week Dry Bones feature.
Item One: Fear at Yale:
The news about Yale that you might have heard this week was about the Yale University Press decision to remove images of Mohammad from a book that they are about to publish.

Item Three: Dry Bones at Yale:
