    they’re laughing at “cat got your tongue” although I don’t find humor in someone being mauled by a tiger.

    Maybe they are laughing because he’s wearing the ‘cat’s pajamas’?

    that is in real bad taste. What the heck was this cartoonist thinking about? Would this cartoonist be proud to hand this cartoon to the guy who almost died in the attack? Yeah, let’s all laugh at the man his throat ripped out. You should be ashamed. Are there no censors on this site that would filter out such insensitivity?

    DOC: I couldn’t figure out why they were laughing, either. I thought I had overlooked something. Not one of his best efforts…

    when i first read this…no one had commented - so, I thought my making a comment about being in terrible taste was not the correct thing to do…but, I see others see the really horrible, unfunny view that I have, so…I say Bad Comic, Bad Comic.

    J2m Maybe you can’t read…everyone was offended. Not just me. This was a terrible idea for a cartoon. I’m sure in retrospect, the cartoonist is biting his own tongue for letting this one out of the bag. So, you hold onto the binky and suck it yourself

    It would have been funnier if it hadn’t really had happened.

    Akenta Right. It did, though, and that;s why this is such bad taste

    I just blogged this toon at VegasHappensHere.Com but I also noticed something very strange. Here in Vegas, the Review-Journal printed this toon but the tiger and Siegfried’s coat were ORANGE instead of white. That substantially impacts the punchline, such as it is. There are other color differences, too, but nothing that makes sense. Anyone have any idea why this would happen? Did the local paper think it was insensitive if it was a white tiger? Odd, huh?

    Notice there are no bars on the back of the cage. The tiger is now eying the 2 cops that are laughing…..
