To the editor:
You published a cartoon on page 6 of your 12/17/20 edition portraying Santa "vaccinating" the state of Rhode Island. My best guess is that the "injection" was administered in the Bristol/Barrington area. Absent, however, are both Tiverton and Little Compton from your illustration. Perhaps Santa is standing in front of these two fine towns, but I think not. They were simply left out.
Last time I looked, Tiverton and Little Compton were both part of the state of RI. This isn't the first time I've noticed the absence of both towns in representations of our state. I'm beginning to wonder whether we should return to Massachusetts from whence we came. I'm not opposed to that, having grown up in the Boston area. But, I've been a resident of Tiverton, RI for some 40 years now and, like Rodney Dangerfield, I'm beginning to think that we east of Sakonnet River folk "don't get no respect".
