Your Chimp Cartoon Gone Crazy Round-up
By Rob Tornoe | February 20th, 2009 | PERMALINKNew York City Councilman John Liu says he wants the Secret Service to investigate the controversial New York Post cartoon.
Daryl Cagle talks about the controversial cartoon on his blog.
Cagle.com cartoonist Justin Bilicki has put his thoughts about the controversy into his own cartoon.
So has Wayne Stroot of the Hastings Tribune.
Prior to the Delonas cartoon going viral, three editorial cartoonists shared their views on race in cartoons in a forum at the JKF Museum.
Poynter Institute was all over the story, with pieces about the standards that Delonas considered, the “apology” issued by the New York Post, and thoughts from cartoonists like Ted Rall and myself.
If you want to know what cartoonists thought of the cartoon, check out this comment thread featuring a wide-spanning discussion at the Daily Cartoonist.

A new Facebook group called Boycott the NY Post and have Sean Delonas FIRED is up to 650+ member.
Gawker posts 10 “loathsome” cartoons by Sean Delonas, though none that I can tell even hint at any racist undertones.
GLAAD has taken the opportunity to post a slideshow of what they feel are Delonas’ defamatory and anti-LGBT cartoons
Tons of people are protesting outside the New York Post, including unnamed Post writers and editors, and even cartoonists!
And Michelle Malkin thinks we all owe Sean Delonas a big apology.

As I mentioned in Bilerico, find a good gay cartoonist and lampoon Delonas–maybe a cowboy with tears coming down his check——–All Delonsas again.
Remember the great effect of the lettuce boycot for Cesar Chavez’ farmworkers.
—a cartoon standing out in front of one of the major advertizers. Two gay guys. One says,”Their merchandise is to “last year.” the other responds–”No! last decade!” then flounce. Another cartoon GLBT folks sanding in front of a major advertiser’s store with a wallet bulging with money. Take the money out, then put it badck–I’m going elsewhere.
—organize boycot of the major advertisers in New York Post. Spread the word to friendly straight folk. Soon the business will realiae their drop in sales comes from adertising in Post–and Post will ge the message.
—Take out ad in competiting newspaper:” x,y,z businesses advertise in New York Post that pblishes racist cartoons of Sean Delonas.
