need V-ed

[Arnold M. Zwicky]

a recent IdiotBOX cartoon by Matt Bors, "Lawn Order", has, in its
first panel:

If there is one thing *on the planet* that can cajole fat inert
Americans out of their *TV* induced comas it's a lawn that needs mowed.

and where, you ask, does Matt Bors come from?  Canton., Ohio,
apparently.  ah...
