Cartoonists Freedom Watch: Wiley Miller's Non Sequitur

The cartoon The Washington Post (and other papers) were afraid to print: Wiley Miller's satirical cartoon reveals the fear instilled in editors by the mere use of the name of the founder of the religion of Islam - no drawing necessary.

Washington Post columnist Andrew Alexander on the Post's decision to not run the cartoon: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/08/AR2010100804947.html

"The wonderful irony [is] great newspapers like The Washington Post, that took on Nixon . . . run in fear of this very tame cartoon, thus validating the accuracy of the satire," Miller has said.
