Two Newspaper Cartoons Garner Criticism For Depictions

* Congressman Gregory Meeks has criticized a cartoon appearing in a Queens newspaper for what he feels is a racist depiction of himself and Senator Malcolm Smith. The cartoon was defended by the author of the opinion article with which the cartoon appeared and the cartoonist. The cartoonist, Elgin Bolling, is African-American.

* the readers representative of the Kansas City Star reports a number of objections to the cartoon illustration of a female soldier used on Sunday with a major feature article. While some of the complaints seem to focus on the general issue of such a drawing by definition not being a serious thing, others seemed to react to the style employed.
