Friday, April 25, 2008Comic Description (and Pictures)It's looking increasingly likely that the Daily D won't be putting the aforementioned comic online. In the interest of bringing our readers as much news as possible on this front, here is Jake Baron's '10 description of the cartoon.The central idea of the comic is that Dartmouth is now “outsourcing propaganda” to “somewhere in Asia,” where Ms. “Bone-Y-Ram” toils away “for Dartmouth Undying.” The comic depicts Ms. Lam’s face in a stereotypically Asian way, and the crudely drawn object representing Ms. Lam is unable to pronounce the English letter “L.” In the final frame, an object apparently representing a Dartmouth student asks “Who is Bone-Y-Ram,” to which an adjacent object replies, “Aonther self proclaimed hooker… I mean leader.”Taking the piggy-backing one step further, I'm also fully endorsing Mr. Baron's conclusion: Though I agree with the anti-Board Packing sentiment that the comic expresses, and though it goes without saying that the artists have the right to publish such work, it goes equally without saying that the work is tasteless, nasty, obnoxious, petty, and offensive.The full post, here. UPDATE: Someone just sent in pictures of the comic taken with their cell phone. They're below the fold. UPDATE 2: Katy O'Donnell's mea culpa, here.   
Posted by A.S. Erickson at 1:17 AM Comments Why would you agree with the sentiment expressed in the comic? The comic states that Dartmouth is outsourcing its propaganda, which is incorrect. Posted by I suppose there's arguably an anti-board-packing sentiment buried in there somewhere. Posted by You're right, there is an anti-board sentiment in there somewhere, or what the spinmeisters call an "anti-board-packing" sentiment. But the main political sentiment is this myth that Dartmouth is outsourcing propaganda... Do the authors really believe and care about that? It is so out of touch with reality that it's hard not to imagine that it was just a veneer for the personal attack that occupied most of the comic. Posted by Best part of today's opinion page: Posted by But the main political sentiment is this myth that Dartmouth is outsourcing propaganda. Posted by Zak Moore moronically adds to Jacob Baron's post: Posted by Though I agree with the anti-Board Packing sentiment that the comic expresses... Posted by Yes, I understand the implications of "outsourcing" etc. I interpret the cartoon to say that the authors believe that the board or the administration actually asked or encouraged Ms. Lam to write her letter. If you believe that this occurred, then one way to disparage it would be to compare it to sending work you should be doing yourself to overseas sweatshops instead, a sort of copout. Posted by @ratster Posted by Looks like Malchow et al. changed the post without indicating that they've made a correction. Posted by I'm far more offended by how awful those comics look. I thought you Ivy folks had high standards...?
