  1. It seems like college cartoon controversies happen in bunches.

    You say that like it’s a bad thing.

    At least the college cartoonists are getting a reaction.

  2. If they mean the city of Saginaw…yeah, I wouldn’t think it’s that far off. But the ‘suburbs’ aren’t nearly as bad as the city.
