Comics Plagiarism’s Narrow Bounds

I found this editorial from the Auburn University newspaper about an incident where an editorial cartoonist was recently caught copying from other cartoonists interesting for what it says about the hot topic of plagiarism in journalism as applied to cartooning. I never thought about it before, but it dos seem true that such an incident would almost always have to be reported from another artist or another artist's editor as opposed to caught through the use of say, a search engine to compare text, and given the way certain visual ideas are circulated by editorial cartoonists, it would have to be a really, really exact match in order for the perpetrator to be penalized.
