The Banana Slugs are angry. A few months after writing an article on school mascots, I got hold of this editorial response from the UCSC City on a Hill Press. While I assumed that the readership of the Spin consisted mostly of our student body, I was shocked to hear that readers across the country got wind of my “disagreeable mockery of UCSC’s friendly herbivore.” (Looks like someone has a news feed running for Banana Slug material …)
In my attempts to mourn the loss of Chief Illiniwek, mascot of the University of Illinois, I hurt the feelings of some peaceful slugs in the process.
