The cartoon was published by Newsday and people have been protesting<\/a>:<\/p>\n

NEW YORK<\/strong> Picketers demonstrated outside of Newsday’s offices in Melville, N.Y., on Wednesday to protest a cartoon that appeared in Sunday’s paper. About 20 people carrying signs that read “Boycott Newsday” also demanded that Editor John Mancini be fired for allowing the cartoon to be published.<\/p>\n

The protesters were upset about a syndicated “Mallard Fillmore” cartoon drawn by Bruce Tinsley that was published a week after the one-year anniversary of the death of Ecuadorian immigrant Marcelo Lucero. They were also picketing in protest of a recent story and column about Lucero\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n

Authorities allege that seven teenagers stabbed Lucero to death last year, and one has pleaded guilty to first-degree gang assault and fourth-degree conspiracy.<\/p>\n

The cartoon causing the controversy was titled \u201cLiberals: The Early Years,\u201d and featured a small dinosaur being chased by a larger one who said, \u201cI’m not chasing you because you’re a pachycephalosaurus … I’m chasing you because you’re delicious,\u201d to which the smaller dinosaur responded, \u201cOh, thank goodness. I was worried that this might be a hate crime.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here’s the cartoon – no laughing, now:<\/p>\n
