Yesterday’s publication of “”No Relation,”” a comic by Joseph Topmiller, has sparked much criticism. On a regular basis, the comic attempts to take common stereotypes and misconceptions and mock not only the stereotype itself, but also the people who believe in them. That is certainly true of yesterday’s comic. The comic did not intend to maliciously attack or disrespect the Jewish community. We understand the comic was taken with offense; however, it did not set out to offend at any level, and the comic in no way represents the views of the Arizona Daily Wildcat as a newspaper. The Daily Wildcat apologizes for the misunderstanding over the comic and does not, in any way, wish to belittle the Jewish community or depict it negatively. The Wildcat values the Jewish community as a constituent of this newspaper, and as members of this university and the world at large. We apologize to any readers who were offended.
