Maybe something like this will work for disclosure? Jack and I came up with today. The Danny Duff Concept: The idea behind Danny Duff and his supporting comic characters is to mirror and counter the very effective US Forest Service Smokey the Bear propaganda operation that has deceived the public into believing that all fire in nature is bad and destructive. This Smokey the Bear propaganda attack on public consciousness saying “only you can prevent forest fires” has had the unintended consequence in building up the fuel in light fire ecosystems, causing them eventually to be completely devastated by catastrophic fire along with loss of life and property. This taxpayer financed propaganda operation also created a huge fire suppression culture and industry that completely overshadows a fledgling fire management culture. Danny Duff - If you recall the Straw man in in the Wizard of Oz was deathly afraid of fire, but in this case the Danny Duff character is a unstable, emotional, chaotic, dramatic character who loves catastrophic fire, the hotter and more destructive the better. He is drawn as a variation of the Straw man, but is a bundle of debris, pine straw, leaves and sticks. Everywhere he goes he is leaking leaves and debris. He is to be an egotistical, rotund, dramatic and funny character lacking brains but not mean spirited, who from time to time bursts into flames, causing catastrophic wildfire. He is a good friend of Smokey the Bear and can’t stand the Fire Fairy because she keeps the forest clean and neat. Fire Fairy – The Fire Fairy is virtuous female character who is friends with all the forest and grassland animals especially the Spotted Owl, the Desert Tortoise etc. She flits about lighting light fire in light fire ecosystems with her fire wand, creating diverse plant and animal habitats and ecosystems and protects them by sweeping the forest clean of debris buildup on a regular basis. Wanted – A artist to help us create a comic strip along these lines to go viral and expose and poke fun at those who claim to be protecting our public and private forests and grasslands, but who are actually creating the conditions for the destruction of these ecosystems by catastrophic wildfire through accelerating fire suppression.
