Darryl Cagle Cartoon Initiates Objections

I love that when someone in an e-mail casually mentioned a mini-furor surrounding a Daryl Cagle cartoon, I was immediately 99 percent certain the most thorough discussion of it on-line would be done by Cagle himself. According to a cartoonist, a cartoon he made appearing on yesterday's front page of Reforma decrying the recent, horrific waves of violence by showing violence against the flag itself, has instigated a formal letter of protest from the Mexican embassy in the U.S. to Cagle's MSNBC employer. A potential complication beyond the visceral reaction some are having to the cartoon is that there may be a law against parodies involving the flag, although that would fall at the newspaper's feet rather than Cagle's. Cagle also provides a number of intriguing links -- one to the reader response when the cartoon went up on his own blog, others to Mexican media sources discussing the cartoon and at least one other like it.
