Tinsley has a job thanks to Affirmative Action.
Affirmative action in the funnies?

I have read a number of letters to the editor, pro and con, regarding "Mallard Fillmore." I have yet to see anyone defend the comic strip on the basis that it is funny. Rather, it is defended on the basis that it balances the views presented in, for example, "Doonesbury."

I wonder if the cartoonist appreciates the irony that his supporters believe he is entitled to be published under the principle of "equal opportunity."
