Cartoon protest on Sunday

| |

Some minority cartoonists plan to highlight the paucity of their numbers in newspapers. We have Baldo by Hector D. Cantu and Carlos Castellanos. While I understand their perspective, I agree with this view:
McGruder, who is African American, "The industry itself is struggling. It's like they're the black passengers on the Titanic protesting to get to the top deck, and overlooking the fact that the whole ship is sinking."
- Considering the amount of vitriol sent our way when we changed the comics in the past, it's the last place I want to be.
