Content of comic E d it o r ia l C a r to o n is questionable

I am amazed that, given the prominence of The Observer recently, people haven’t noticed the comics offered on the last page. Recently, I have found that W 3re ra isim Jockular is particularly offensive to both myself and those with whom I work. Kimberly Baker submitted a let­ J . i i»i ter [Nov. 11 about its position on women. Not only have I B our Security |tve| taken offense at those comics, I have also taken offense at Monday’s comic about the white crosses. Alec White, a junior, and Erik Powers, a senior, were 1 frcw “CoWer" to both students last year during the outrage that ensued following the destruction of the crosses. I fail to see how | Vwfc panfc?.* a comic depicting the burning of the crosses (misinter­ preted as “T ”s) and the tasteless remark "I think the Keebler Elves have joined the Klan!” can be funny. Abortion, as is evident, is a very sensitive issue, and race relations, as is also evident, is not much “safer ” for the content of a comic strip. As a Catholic, I was offended by the lack of respect given to the cross, and as a human being I was offended by the lack of respect for a differing view on an issue so serious as abortion. Furthermore, I am amazed that a newspaper serving a Catholic commu­ nity would publish a comic such as Jockular, especially as humor, because of its morally questionable content. I am also surprised that the artists, despite outcry by mem­ bers of the community, have continued to produce base­ less comics that are, at best, ill-suited for print media, and (sometimes) offensive. Never before have I seen faith taken so lightly. Maybe it is a lesson that the authors need to learn before taking another entertainment posi­ tion.
