    My favorite flag cartoon shows Ms. Ross at work on the flag, and a fellow bursts into her home and says "Bad news Betsy, Nova Scotia just dropped out!"

    lol, i like those too!! - i once saw a funny cartoon involving Betsy Ross and George Washington... Basically Betsy had sewn a flag instead of stars she had sewn words on it... the words read something like GO AWAY REDCOATS, and under it Washington said... 'I dont think thats quite appropriate Betsy!'
