The latest editorial cartoon from award-winning TPS contributor Mike Beckom tackles critics who say South Carolina is too backward for Boeing.
This cartoon is in response to a cartoon by David Horsey of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Residents of Washington state are yankees?
@Lenny. Theyre sure actin like it with all the crybaby BS.
Very good! They’ve been churning out BMWs in SC for quite awhile now. They seem to work just fine!

Supid is as supid does..
Seattle has a good case of sour grapes. If SC is so bad, why do people come here and never leave. Besides all that, Seattle in particular is noted for its dismal weather and high rates of suicide, thanks, but no thanks.
Well as a battle flag waver, I found the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer Cartoon amusing.
No problem with it ! Its a free country !
But what if a cartoon depicted Black people with a watermellon ! Jessie and Al would be demanding the resignation of the artist !
Deo Vindice !
“Post-Intelligencer”? And they say southerners can’t spell. I guess folks in WA-WA state are just intelligencer than folks from SC.
Hey it’s all in fun, i am not offended. We have seen this style of humor many times. I will laugh all the way to the bank..
Yankees are anyone not in the south. Its a regional thang
I’m from Washington State and I work at Boeing and I am discusted at the (Political) direction this state is headed after our latest Elections. If it were at all possible I would love to come join you!!!! NASCAR Country is MY Country!!!!!
Clearly, Washington folks are Yankees. If ya ain’t with us, yer agin us.
[...] cartoon had a mixed reaction from South Carolinians who saw it. Editorial cartoonist Mike Beckom responded in kind drawing a cartoon of a man in over-alls talking on the phone saying, “Yep, I got her purrin’ like a [...]
I work in Everett – home of Boeing – and work with whiney ass IAM folks (not Boeing, but might as well be). The cartoon SHOULD read… How many union workers does it take for Boeing to leave our state and find one who will actually WORK all year instead of striking. My boyfriend lives in a town near Greenville, SC and bemoans the lack of union representation in his fine state. I guess the grass is always greener… but at least South Carolinians will be able to afford fertilizer now that the 3,800 jobs are heading that way. As far the yankee comment… Proud to be one, in love with a fine Southener.
Well Done!!!
[...] In his cartoon, Beckom featured a lawnmower repair man saying, “Yep, I got her purrin’ like a kitten. Just hadda take out them whiney, unionized, know-it-all Yankees.” A picture of a Boeing jet was featured in the background. [VIEW THE CARTOON HERE] [...]
The folks in Washington State need to remember that before they became a State the so called red necks in South Carolina were playing golf and taking trips to Europe.

….who looks stupid now? Damn Southerners!
Laressa….that was the yankee edition of M-W.Com.
i am tried of all these stertoypes of South Carolinia! You are thestupid yankies who say all this. We are a GRATE STATE! Go home if you dont like it
“i am tried of all these stertoypes of South Carolinia! You are thestupid yankies who say all this. We are a GRATE STATE! Go home if you dont like it”
You can’t really be from “South Carolinia”. If you are, you do indeed fit the “stertoypes”. I’m one of “thestupid yankies” here to tell you that your spelling and grammar are atrocious.
GRATE STATE? How about Great state. C’mon Gump, you got to try harder, at least Jethro Bodine had a third grade education.
B Nelson,
I believe it should actually be typed “We are a great state!”. You’ve capitalized the “G” in state as if it is a pronoun of some sort.
Also, if you couldn’t tell that Lee King (quite possibly a play on Robert E. Lee and Martin Luther King) was being ever-so-slightly sarcastic, you might have Oxygen seeping into your cerebral cavity.
