The “Quaker Mafia” cartoon was drawn by Scott Masear. It depicts two Quaker mafiosos discussing a hit. Masear (b. 1958) is a freelance cartoonist living in Eugene, Oregon. His work has appeared in more than 300 publications, including Boy’s Life, Reader’s Digest, Christianity Today, the National Enquirer and the National Review. He is not a Friend.
The “Quaker Mafia” cartoon is a hoot. Poking fun at Friendly beliefs -in this case, peace -is something that non-Quakers have always done. A worthy addition to the tradition.
