Mr. Fish Won’t Back Down After Criticism Of Memorial Day Cartoon

imageThere's a really fun thread at Daryl Cagle's highly-visited comics-related blog about a Memorial Day cartoon from someone named Mr. Fish posted on Cagle's site and what you would expect in terms of response from one of the people that cartoon offends. What makes it interesting is that in his response Mr. Fish doesn't back down a single bit or attempt to find a place for compromise and understanding. You rarely see that these days. One of the reasons I'm not sure cartoonists have significant a role to play in revitalizing newspapers is that I'm not sure this level of discourse really does drive eyeballs to something.
