Editorial Cartoonist Out In Park City
The Park Record in Park City, Utah announced yesterday that they have asked for the resignation of editorial cartoonist John Kilbourn for plagiarizing a Mort Drucker cartoon. The similarity between the two cartoons was apparently brought to the paper's attention by a broadcast journalist. Kilbourn, who believed enough had been changed to warrant submission under his own name, had worked for the paper for 10 years. The article describes the cartoon plagiarized as "Bananaz," which I take to mean an image from the Bonanza parody done by Drucker and writer Lou Silverstone in what looks like 1962 or so.
