Hi Brad,

I certainly didn’t think for once that they were Muslims, so i guess its simply a matter of personal stereotypes.
I think the best way to go about it is to simply treat these stereotypes as if they don’t exist ,you can only do so much to change opinions. after all you were only portraying what the real terrorists look like

I thought the first one was way better but then I grew up reading Hustler Humor by age 8!

Also I am looking for Vector drawing of : Bush, Chaney, Joe Biden, Nancy Peolosi, Arnold Schwartenegger, Osam Bin Laden and many more. Do you know wher I cna find them?

Thanks very much

John

I think there is nothing wrong with the first cartoon. It more accurately represents reality. I’m from Northern Ireland, which as you may know has a (past) history of terrorism, and I can tell you with certainty that if you had dressed up your characters as obviously protestant or catholic it would have caused no offence to anyone here.

The problem with the cartoon then would be that no Irish terrorist has ever tried to blow up a passanger plane. That is a method of attack which is more associated with our fellow humans who occupy the middle east. Which is why the characters in the first cartoon are more appropriate.

I think that both versions of the cartoon work but it is unfortunate that being P.C. can make one censor themselves.

[...] Fitz – October 3, 2006 @ 8:34 am I usually remain silent, lurking in the shadows chained to my cartooning table, but I needed to chime in on this one because this whole “cartoons and stereotyping” thing lately is really starting to get under my skin. So rather than fill up too much space here, I posted about it in detail over at my blog: http://www.bradfitzpatrick.com…..-cartoons/ [...]

Here ya go… keep the first one, and then, swing for the fences, and make one of the characters Mohammad!
You know… just to see what’ll happen.

Who cares if you offend by suggesting they’re violent. What are they gonna do? Form an angry mob, shoot AK47’s in the air, and throw rocks at buildings, flip cars and burn them to show they’re really a “peaceful” people and hate being misrepresented?

The original art conveyed the truth. Being political correct is being a coward. If the terrorists or the citizens in the countries they reside can’t face the truth – too bad.

Yeah. Nice artwork. Didn’t really get the joke.

As for the terrorists. geeks, woman and so on..
which ones are likely to not have a sence of humour?

Are you willing to risk your life and your allies for a chuckle?

Sad harsh FACT.
