Todays cartoon is dedicated to Crystal Lee Sutton. She was the person who the movie Norma Rae was based on. I saw her once after the movie came out. She lived and died fighting for the rights of working people. She died about a year ago of cancer after her health insurance refused to cover her medications.

Also a Labor Day remembrance of Harvey Pekar who passed away recently. He was the author of American Splendor, the autobiographical graphic novel which celebrated the lives of ordinary people.
