Internet review: Worst Cartoons Ever
GUARDIAN Fri, 24 Apr 2009 23:01:00 GMT
worstcartoonsever.com How can you not love a blog that gets furious about some pudgy pink cartoon bears for a) squirting a butterfly with some foam and b) having the audacity to call a fellow character "Peppy-Mint"? The above crimes are examined in an entry labeled The Yum Yums Are Dicks, along with a video that examines the moral issues of the "butterfly incident" and explains that the Yum Yums are "under the incorrect assumption that as long as you act cute, your actions won't be perceived as the most dickish things in the entire universe." Vintage clips include Tubby The Tuba, Rocket Robin Hood and that classic cartoon skirmish between Superman and Nick O'Teen, and there are postings on the difficulty of animating teeth and a video of a talking breast that will send you into a "depressing shame spiral".

Jewish groups denounce Oliphant Gaza cartoon
SUNNEWSPAPERS Thu, 26 Mar 2009
Two Jewish groups have denounced a Pat Oliphant political cartoon on Gaza as anti-Semitic, likening its fanged Star of David to Nazi imagery before the Holocaust.

The syndicated cartoon published Wednesday in newspapers across the country depicts a goose-stepping uniformed figure wheeling the Jewish symbol as it menaces a small female figure labeled "Gaza."

The Gaza cartoon alludes to Israel's invasion of the Palestinian territory in December to halt rocket fire from the area and weaken it militant Hamas rulers. More than 1,400 Palestinians, including more than 900 civilians, were killed, according to a Palestinian human rights group.

Oliphant, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1967, is one of the most widely syndicated editorial cartoonists in the world.
'Racist' US cartoon causes stir
BBC Thu, 19 Feb 2009 14:48:08 GMT
Commentators, campaigners and politicians condemn a newspaper cartoon they say is a racist depiction of President Obama.

Campaigner Rev Al Sharpton vowed to picket the newspaper's headquarters.

Cartoonist Sean Delonas drew police shooting dead a chimp, while remarking "they'll have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill".

The paper has defended the cartoon as a "parody of a current news event".

On Tuesday President Obama signed into law a massive, $787bn (£548bn) economic stimulus package. Andrew Rojecki, co-author of the book The Black Image in the White Mind said "The cops are saying, 'Someone's going to have to write the next stimulus bill.' Well, who wrote the last stimulus bill? It's Obama and the Democratic Party, but really it's associated with one person - and that's Obama," Mr Rojecki told the Chicago Tribune.

"It's a crude joke... It's pretty transparent to me."

"How could The Post let this cartoon pass as satire?" asked Barbara Ciara, president of the National Association of Black Journalists, in a statement.

"To compare the nation's first African-American commander-in-chief to a dead chimpanzee is nothing short of racist drivel."

She joined politicians in demanding an explanation from the publishers of the New York Post, a tabloid owned by Rupert Murdoch's international media conglomerate, News Corp.

There was also a furious public response. Blog posts on the topic attracted hundreds of angry comments, while complainants reportedly jammed the newspaper switchboard and protested outside its headquarters.

Some said it belittled the suffering endured by the woman who was attacked by the chimp, while others went as far as to accuse the cartoon of calling for President Obama's assassination.
