UI Pope Cartoon: Timely, Topical? Or Wide Of Mark?


Julio Cesar Ponce/UI Argonaut

Honest George:Tasteless - and way off mark.

Cabbage Boy: ugg, you sure this one deserved publishing DFO. It is poor art even if it didn't, as HG said, miss the mark.

TJ: I beg to differ. As the editor who chose to print it originally, I found it both timely and topical. And as for the artwork, it looks like the Pope to me.

Question: Was this cartoon in poor taste and wide of the mark? Or was it timely and topical?
