    So Bill Nye goes to Texas a couple years ago and states that the moon reflects the sun’s light.

    And several Christian conservatives in the audience boo him for it.

    The stupid…it burns.

    Turns out Jack Reese was a bullied kid from Mountain Green, Utah, who committed suicide. Information from Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/29/jack-reese-gay-teen-suicide_n_1462594.html

    A news story about an anti-bullying rally, in the Ogden Standard-Examiner: http://www.standard.net/stories/2012/05/01/vigil-speakers-urge-end-bullying-suicides-gay-teens

    A more direct news story in the Salt Lake Tribune: http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/54018293-78/bullying-gay-reese-edmonds.html.csp

    In that context, Bagley’s cartoon takes on even more meaning, and it looks a lot more brave.

    This is beautiful. I believe that there is still much power in political cartooning.
