I am disappointed that Saiki has no conscience.  Accepting a raise when there are thousands of residents on unemployment is pretty cold.

Pritchett does excellent work.  His Bishop Estate cartoons are both priceless as well as timeless.  Folks will be enjoying them forever.  Here, Pritchett expresses what everybody is thinking about Scott Saiki and his pay raise.  A picture is indeed worth a thousand words.
