Iām astonished and embarrassed that the Miami Herald (Miami, FL) refused to print this cartoon (!) Dashed my notion of Miami being a progressive, somewhat free-thinking outpost in the southā¦ If your newspaper printed this comic, BE THANKFUL you are able to see UNSENSORED news, comics or otherwise, regardless of where you stand on this issue.
