It’s September First: Someone Out There Must Be Enraged At A College Student-Drawn Editorial Cartoon

Until then, here's the back story on an apology made by a Swarthmore cartoonist late last year. Apparently someone took the word "survivor" to automatically mean "rape survivor," which is the sort of automatic leap of logic that probably makes slightly more sense when you're a college student. Anyway, it's a bit more rationally explored in that think piece than what you'll find right after a cartoon sets someone off. The last few years of student cartooning have been stuffed with stories like this one, although most of them tend to fall in the "what the hell were they thinking?" camp.
