How To Make An Apple Walk The Plank

July 16, 2012

A 2006 illustration for Washington Law & Politics, for the following news item:

And They Can Keep Their Apples, Too

Angered by Washington State senators’ opposition to oil-drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, an Alaskan state rep introduced a resolution in the Alaska State Legislature to cut Washington off by ending the four-decade-old
ferry service between the two states.

Why did I use apples to represent Washington State? Because Washington produces most of the eating apples consumed in the United States.cartoon illustration for law and politics magazine showing pirate ship as ferry, pirate captain as Alaska with sword and Yes To Oil sign, making Washington State apples walk the plank and fall in ocean

What do you think? Know your apples? Can you name the top 9 varieties grown in Washington State? How can an apple walk the plank when it doesn’t have any feet?? Hope you’ll leave a comment.blank vertical space, 16 pixels high
