JOHN CALLAHAN

Your article on cartoonist John Callahan (“Rolling Thunder,” by Ann Japenga, July 28) was mesmerizing.

Such incredible guts and determination coupled with a screwy talent should receive aid from those of us who can appreciate and even revere his gutty determination.

A thought: Would it not be possible for one of our millionaires to alleviate the financial burdens of John Callahan, so that he doesn’t have to worry about Medicaid payments being withheld because he makes a couple of bucks from his irreverent, somewhat mad but often wryly humorous gems?
