I always liked Abe Lincolns teaching story. It goes like this:

Assume you have a jackass with four legs and a tail and you decide to call the tail a leg. Now, how many legs does the jackass have?

Answer: Four!
Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it one,,,

See, we’ve been trying to teach people to see for a very long time.

Cartoons can be dangerous. Just remember that most of the Anti-Science Fundies started out with a copy of “The Picture Bible.”

If you can’t draw, use tools such as the cartoon playground at Funny Times.

Actually, Stuart, I’d say BA’s other major talent involves movies and TV trivia, hence the quote from Jessica Rabbit above.

I kind of like this one from XKCD:

If you can’t draw, just make ASCII art!

I’ve always been a big fan of Non Sequitur, and yesterday was the best comic I’ve ever seen him create. It can be found at http://images.ucomics.com/comics/nq/2007/nq070328.gif.
