Did Johnny Hart -- the beloved creator of "B.C." and one of the most widely read cartoonists on Earth -- sneak a vulgar defamation of Islam into the comics pages last week? The question was raised yesterday by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Washington-based civil rights group, in an e-mail to its membership. Hart and his syndicate say no -- that a simple, straightforward joke is being misconstrued. That may well be true, but the 73-year-old cartoonist's history of evangelizing his Christian beliefs through his comic cavemen have left many people doubtful. The cartoon, which appeared Nov. 10...

Okay, for any who have seen my opinions in the past, you know that I'm an avid comic book collector. For a few years now, my favorite title has been Justice League, or JLA for short. The newest issue, #83, came out yesterday. It was, without a doubt, the most unvarnished left-wing piece of Bush-bashing propaganda I've ever seen. The baisc set-up is this (*WARNING*--SPOILERS)...President Luthor (yes, in the DC Universe, Lex Luthor is President of the United States) has decided that the nation of "Qurac" has acquired or constructed Weapons of Mass Distruction, and has decided that he must...

The second-to-last line of this past Sunday's "Doonesbury" has to be read to be believed and even then I fear readers will accuse me of making it up: "You are all jingoistic self-regarding conquer-monkeys!" The full eight panel cartoon was a mini sermon -- in French -- chiding American readers for the weeks-old controversy over "freedom" fries. I hereby nominate it as the worst single cartoon in the history of the strip. Admittedly, the last few months have offered a lot of competition; it's been almost a race to the bottom. There was the preachy strip in which the Rev....

he British poet Philip Larkin, asked why he voted Conservative, replied that he believed the Left to stand for “dishonesty, idleness, and treason.” It seems to me that Larkin omitted one key component of the lefty mind-set: snobbery.The essence of the modern Left, from Lenin to the Clintons, is a contempt for ordinary people — for their blindness to their own interests, for their inability to see that society needs radically reorganizing, for their reluctance to let themselves be shoveled around like truckloads of concrete in order to accomplish that reorganization, for their degraded tastes in everything from food...

On Easter of all days, Gary Trudeau uses his Doonesbury cartoon to insult Christians in general, and George Bush's faith in particular. How quick the liberals are to condemn someone else's faith and belief system, but just let a Christian say anything negative about another's belief system and how quick they are to invoke an injunction against "judgementalism."You can read the cartoon for yourself at the following link CLICK HERE for cartoon

It is said, "The truth will set you free." From my experience, and those of my opinion-sharing Latino colleagues, the truth just gets a lot of people mad at you. Take, for example, the recent usage of the popular character "Hello Kitty" by political satirist Lalo Alcaraz in his nationally syndicated comic strip La Cucaracha. Aside from drawing Kitty with a decidedly Latino twist, a sombrero planted behind the ever-present bow, it was the text in the cartoon that animated discussion. As with most of his work, Alcaraz's blunt assessment of life in the United States for Latinos and Latino...
