Newspaper Apologizes to Bob Lobel

One of the newspapers that ran the Get Fuzzy cartoon that led to a lawsuit from Bob Lobel -- maybe the newspaper where Lobel encountered it, I'm not sure -- has run an apology for letting it appear. The suit, which seemed to hinge on the news personality never having been drunk on the air, was settled despite even this very apologetic newspaper asserting it probably had no basis. I think this raises the issue over whether the parties should have settled, if it's a parody of a public personality, although I can't think it's particularly harmful that they did beyond the principle of the thing.
