Village Magazine publishes BifSniff Cartoon!

I am very proud to announce that Village Magazine published a BifSniff cartoon in their current issue (Thursday, October 26, 2006).

They published one of our recent cartoons and it looks really well. It's just inside the back cover so it's easy to find if you pick up a copy.

Do pick up a copy, because I read that the magazine is in some financial trouble, and personally I think it's a great magazine. It seems to be a magazine that divides people into three categories though:
a) Those that buy it and like it.
b) Those that love to rant about how awful and lefty it is.
c) Those that don't know it exists.

Category c seems the most prevalent in my experience, which seems a shame. I can't back up my opinion with hard fact or anything, but one example I seem to remember about Village Magazine is that it spoke realistically about the War in Iraq and wasn't afraid to make points that the other media in Ireland seemed only willing to publish when opinion had turned in America and it was safe to start asking pertinent questions.

I used to buy it a lot when it was launched, but that was back when I had decided to know what was going on around me. I have since decided that was a mistake. Ignorance is bliss.
