Editorial Cartoonist At Harvard Crimson Accused of Multiple Content “Similarities”

An editorial cartoonist at the Harvard Crimson has been accused of multiple instances of taking ideas from established, working editorial cartoonists, according to this article by the Crimson itself. Above is the example that brought the matter to the paper's attention, with a October 12 Newsday cartoon on the left and a October 25 Crimson cartoon on the right. Other instances are cited in the Crimson article. I don't believe any action has been taken as of yet.

I thought it might be a stronger season for news from cartoonists at student newspapers because of the forthcoming elections, but two of the three major stories taking place on campus this Fall have turned out to be classic controversies rather than politically fueled ones.
