Subject: "Comic" Funky Winkerbean

I am the mother of a breast cancer patient who is in stage four cancer. She has three young children. She is receiving new drugs and we pray for her recovery. Every morning her children read the comics, this has always been a part of their ritual since they could read. Funky Winterbean, a daily comic featured in many papers, has chosen to write about a young mother with breast cancer who went through several stages and is now obviously preparing for death. In my opinion this subject should not be a part of the daily fun pages that children read for amusement. This frightens both mother and children who have enough stress in their lives without having this subject result in such tragic circumstances. Please express your feelings about this to the publishers of the newspapers
who carry this "comic". I am trying to bring attention to this in every possible way so that the artist will consider the harm this is causing and re-think his ending. Thank you.
