Signe Wilkinson Cartoon Draws Protest

I admire the cartoonist Signe Wilkinson's ability to frequently irritate people to the point of protest, particularly on local issues. The above cartoon caused a bit of a scene last week, although I don't really understand the nature of the protest. In fact, it's something that I hear in comics from time to time, that a specific criticism somehow has to provide enough context to also be an accurate appraisal of an entire career and the careers of other people in proximity to the person being criticized, or whatever wider area people have in mind when they jump up and down shouting that this standard has to be part of whatever cartoon or article.
