Philbert to appear on T.V. debate....

According to my "inside" sources [which are inside my head], the legendary but ever elusive Philbert D. Cartoonist will be appearing in his big purple undies at the upcoming Redding City Council debates that will be broadcast on Thursday evening, October 16th, on Channel 11 and Channel 9.

Philbert will be demonstrating his big purple political platform (aka BPPP) in which he proves "The Emperor Has No Clothes."

Tune in. Should be quite a healthy, "uplifting" debate....

Here's a comment from Philbert himself lamenting the lack of media attention his imaginary campaign is not receiving:

I would like to point out that the Record Searchlight has NOT interviewed ALL of Redding's city council candidates. They haven't sat down with coffee and a danish with ME.

As most well-read readers who have read all the readable and non-readable reading materials know, I am running a rooted in grass WRITE-IN campaign on the Imaginary People's Party ticket (once accused of not being REAL Americans, the IPP was formed to give voice to the intagible among us).

I am a LEGITIMATE candidate for the Redding City Council.

You know why I'm legitimate?

I'll tell you why... I have bumper stickers.

I have endorsements (the Natural Surrealist Light People's Party has backed my campaign, but I'm continuing to run anyway).

I have free crayons for you to utilize when you write me in, I like to call these write-in implements WWODs (Waxy Weapons Of Democracy).

I have everything I need to run for office except lipstick and a newspaper endorsement.

Actually, I have a publication's endorsement but only a small percentage of you P.V.s (Potential Voters) pick up a copy of Slick Nicky's Liquor Store Weekly Coupon-A-Rama Color Circular.

But, those of you who do read the fine print under the expiration date know Slick Nicky is on my side...and I bet you also know Senor Wiggle's Taco Flavored Tequilarilla is on sale for $5.95 a gallon tub.

Talk about your informed electrolytes.

So, Silas ol' pal... when do I get my 8 column inches of fame? You don't want to tick me off...

I might get elected.
