Worst Student Strip Controversy Ever

Through Alan Gardner comes word of this local news report where students at Delta College in Saginaw, Michigan are asked to react to a student newspaper cartoon making fun of the city's reputation for violence and the availability of drugs. It looks like a pretty good little strip, actually, certainly web-ready. It seems odd that a student strip sliding into potentially mild bad taste regarding civic pride -- with some reason, apparently -- is worth noting for any reason at all. Someone needs to jump in a time machine and have a long talk with the person who decided that cartoons need to be amenable to every proportional or non-proportional sense of everything at all times. It's amazing they exist at all under such bizarre restrictions.
