Books Quote by Aya
“Sally,I've spent a lot of time rinedag the Mascot as well for research purposes. I discovered an interpretation of a Mascot cartoon (concerning the Louisiana Sunday Law) in Joy Jackson's book that I was able to easily discredit. That book has a reputation for having a lot of mistakes, to the point that I never trust what is in there.I'm glad you are writing about that paper, though. I've spoken to people that seem to believe that paper was a joke paper like The Levee, when it is actually a satirical, which had a different meaning at the time. Lacar Musgrove”
