What is known

Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a single-panel cartoon signed "JEROOM." A man in a blue shirt, joint in mouth, grips a small blonde girl by the shoulder and says "LOL WHY DONT YOU SMOKE WEED ITS GOOD"; she answers "dad i'm only 6." The punchline caption beneath uses a homophobic slur in the phrase "420 BLAZE IT." The slur and the joke are reproduced as found, without endorsement; it is admitted as a curio of shock-humor comics. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
