News Clips Part 5 - It's a Wonderful Slice

This cartoon about did me in for the Simpsons. I found if offensive, disturbing, and completely outside of the spirit of the film. In fact, I found it mean-spirited and in extremely bad taste. 

I took my concerns to my editor at the time, and based on this cartoon and my concerns, he pulled the Simpsons from the Sentinel. This was the last Simpsons strip to appear in the Sentinel-Tribune.

I post it here not because I think its cool or funny or fun.  It is here because I am a compete-ist. I believe in total inclusion.

What do you think? Is this funny or offensive?

News Clips Part 4 - The Simpsons

I love the Simpsons cartoon because of its attention to pop culture. There is almost always a reference to a pop culture icon. For a while, there was even a Simpsons cartoon strip. I cut this one out of one of those strips that appeared in the Bowling Green Sentinel-Tribune on an unknown date.

This panel makes several references to It's a Wonderful Life, as well as several references to Jimmy Stewart and Frank Capra's other films and works. Can you find them all? Comment below! I have included a close-up of the specific panel below, as well as the entire page that the strip appeared on.
