I heartily agree that the cartoon wasn't even mildly funny, but I don't
get the "maligning women" part. Just because one of the characters IS
a woman?? Jeez -- the guy only had two genders to choose from, and he
didn't pander to any stereotypes that I know of. If the tech writer
had been a man, he would have been maligning men?
Anyway, we should send him some worthwhile ideas.
