Editor Apologizes For Potentially Anti-Semitic Cartoon In UGA's Red And Black

I was a little confused by this apology from Red and Black editor Carolyn Crist over the above Bill Richards cartoon from last Thursday. I could understand how people might complain about potential Anti-Semitism there, for sure, and I think that a polite apology for lack of clarity and a desire to clear the air is almost always welcome in such cases. What confused me is that I didn't know Richards, one of the more talent student cartoonists of the last several years and always in recent awards contention, was still doing stuff for the University of Georgia community newspaper. It doesn't stun me or anything, but I spent an hour worried that this might be an old story that a student newspaper's feed shot out on-line again or something. Anyway, I think the issues are pretty clear there: here's Richards' semi-occasionally updated blog.
