Not only have I taken offense at those eomics, I have also taken offense at Monday's eornic about the white erosses. Alnc White, a junior, and Erik Powers, a senior, were both students last year during the outrage that ensued following the destruetion of the crosses. I fail to see how a comie depieting 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 eontent 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, beeause of its morally questionable eontent. 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 bdore taking another entertainment posi­ tion.
