Several of my paintings were to be displayed at a newly opened junior college in Southern Arizona called Cochise College. The work was only up a few hours until the College's president, Dr. VVilliam Harwood, along with the president of the Governing Board, attorney Martin Gentry, and fellow board member Charlie Bloomquist declared the paintings unfit for young eyes and ordered them removed. I've returned the compliment with this painting of the assholes.

In the lower right hand corner is a cartoon showing Harwood, with a chamber pot for a head, cutting out sections of the faithful old outhouse catalog while he defecates. Attorney Gentry can be seen using a page, with his brown finger protruding through the hole Harwood has just cut. Also visible under the horse's exorcized testicles is a skull sporting a prefrontal lobotomy. The faces of these censors are shown holding scissors along the painting's border.

In the upper right hand corner, to make a point, a piece has been cut out of the painting. A barren, eroded landscape mirrors the course these featherbrained asses set Cochise College on. For 30 years, it has steadily gone down hill, until today it is a dried up old weed barely showing any sign of life.

At the bottom left hand corner of the painting, under the dripping blood from the castrating knife, appear the names of six heroes who stood fast for academic freedom ... and were fired: James Corbett, June LUbker, Helen Silverthorne, Barbara, Tom Cooper, and Thomas Minkler.
