The Controversial Cartoon No One Could Understand

Remember the Danish Muhammad cartoon fiasco? Daryl Cagle discuss a rather curious little cartoon that no one can understand - well, no one except the Islamofascists that now threaten the cartoonists life:

Rose told me that this “Muhammad cartoon” was drawn by a retired cartoonist, Erik Abild Sorensen, who is in his eighties. The cartoonist phoned Rose to ask if he was too late to send something in, and Rose told him “go ahead.” The drawing was the last of the twelve to arrive and came in as a sketch on an envelope.

I asked “Was there anything in the envelope?’

Rose said, “No.”

I asked, “Do you understand this drawing? Can you explain it?”

Rose said, “Well, there’s a little poem there that addresses the general topic.”

I asked, “OK, but the cartoon, what is it?”

Rose said, “I don’t know.”

I asked, “Could it be that the elderly artist actually drew Muhammad, and forgot to put his cartoon in the envelope, and just did a little, thoughtless doodle on the envelope, maybe, while he was talking on the phone?”

Rose said, “Yes, that is possible,” and laughed.

For this, the cartoonist went under police protection as the world erupted in chaos.

I gotta laugh too.
