What Daryl Cagle Asked Flemming Rose

When uber-popular comics and cartoons web host Daryl Cagle had the chance to meet Jyllands-Posten Editor Flemming Rose at the recent Association of American Editorial Cartoonists conference, he asked him about something that's been bothering many of us since the Danish Cartoons Controversy broke in Fall 2005: What the heck is the cartoon reprinted here, one of the infamous 12, trying to portray? According to Rose, the cartoon was the last one turned in, and was by the 80-year-old cartoonist Erik Abild Sorensen. It came in on an envelope, which leads to one of the best exchanges ever between Cagle and Rose. Anyway, it's a nice piece, and to reveal any more about it takes away from rather than adds to it.

That same cartoon led to the funniest mention in this article that analyzes all of the cartoons.
