Be realistic. If Breeden was a white male, yeah. But a female cartoonist? I don't think so.
Same thing happened in my college days but I managed to stop the publication beforehand. I was a student editor on the college paper when I saw the editorial page editor preparing a political cartoon for publication. I took it to the faculty advisor and told him the cartoon supposedly prepared by a student was an almost exact ripoff of a Pat Oliphant cartoon. He asked me to document it. I checked with the library and found the Oliphant cartoon collection book had been checked out (gee, I wonder who might have it?) so I had my folks copy it from our copy and send it to me while the faculty advisor held up publication of the student cartoon. I then produced the cartoon and left it up to the faculty member to deal with the student. But if I recall, it was the end of his publishing career in our university paper and perhaps at our school. And that is how it should have been. There was nothing "inadvertent" about that cartoon.
