More sensitivity needed I am an avid reader of the comics, and regard myself as fairly familiar with the art form in general, and with Johnny Hart's work in particular. The creators of most comic strips would agree that their main purposes are to entertain and to educate.
Some comics are political or editorial.
He defended his Sunday strip by declaring he was paying homage to both Judaism and Christianity. I respect Hart's right to draw his strip as he sees fit. I respect the decision of any paper to print or not to print such a cartoon. While I may disagree with Hart's religious convictions, I respect his right to hold to them. I wish Hart were more sensitive to my people's right to hold to our religious convictions, without trying to subvert their validity.
