    But it's not a funny cartoon. It's stupid.

    @Novaload: I think the single panel above makes its point quite nicely. And I do think it's funny.

    Is is subtle? God no. The best political cartoons never are.

    The idiots should just stop doing things. Cartoons are both better drawn and better protested by the smart people.

    The single panel shown above is great. One of the best political cartoons I've seen in a while.

    If you click on it and read the longer, multi-panel version, it isn't nearly as good. He should have just quit after the first panel.

    typical college bullshit. When I was EIC of my paper I got phone calls weekly saying we where anti-semitic AND anti-arab, sometimes the SAME WEEK.

    The kicker, my managing editor who made all my content decisions for me unless it was too close for her to call was a Israeli Jew in the US on a student visa and one who sympathized for the Arab plight.

    So my canned answer always was to them, would you like to talk to my managing editor "arab sounding israeli name here."

    9/10 times they either hung up or apologized to her for calling her decision into question. And never once did any anti defamation league or what have you ever call our office complaining about a opinion page article.

    Why are people always telling Slippery Rock students to shut up? Because they have the most awesomely named school in the United States? I say let their words slippery out any time, and let's listen to them and blog about them with the deepest respect. They are, after all, the Harvard of Slippery Rock, Pa.

    Am I allowed to be offended that Keith Knight is basically the laziest artist ever, that his pictures are ugly, and he uses his visual space to simply write out a column of humourless text?

    Because everything IN the content of the strip is pretty mundane, but that sort of offends me a little.

    Ok, I'm obviously dumb. Who is mad about this? Is it conservatives because it is calling them out on their racism? Or is it the liberals because... the visual metaphor is a lynching? I'm seriously confused.

    @Pope John Peeps II: I think he's saying that real socialists are laughing because Obama is so far from being a socialist that, as Bill Maher put it, "He's barely even a liberal." The bit about the newspaper reminded me about how every campus socialist was always trying to get you to buy a copy of The Daily Worker or whatever it was called, so I think that's what he's getting at.

    @Pope John Peeps II: One of my friends is an actual socialist who has gotten papers published through the ISO. She hates Obama, like any real socialist probably would.

    Socialist organizations also frequently sell newspapers to raise funds.

    Which, for those of you who didn't get the joke, it what makes that last panel funny.

    This reminds me of the argument I had with my college girlfriend, who insisted Henry James' "Washington Square" was a sexist novel because it was about a woman who has no purpose in life except to get married. I was like, "No, it's ABOUT sexism, but that doesn't make it sexist ... Oh never mind, let's have more unprotected sex." Ah, college.

    Fin Fang Foom is an gigantic alien creature that resembles a dragon.

    Not that Marvel hasn't been guilty of racism (The Mandarin?), but this specific case is probably not emblematic of it.
