Since I don’t see Oliphant anyhmore, thank you for that. There are different rules for conservatives and liberals.

When I was in college in NY, I took German as my language. (Math people did have to read German in the old days.) I got the occasional German mag, including Simplicissimus, which no longer exists. It was political commentary, with lots of cartoons. It was not respectful of authority, with often nasty humor.

It was not at all respectful of Africans either, and the cartoons were unkind, to put it mildly. The cartoons were so over the top that they were simply unbelievable. Great skill in pen and ink, however.

The Oliphant cartoon would have been right at home there in the 60’s. But his is politically correct. How the world turns!
