[NYCGirl]

The NY Post cartoonist has struck before.

The outcry over New York Post cartoonist Sean Delonas' dead monkey cartoon today is growing louder. But he has such a rich history! We assembled ten of his all-time classics of hate:

Al Sharpton and Gov. David Paterson are criticizing Delonas' cartoon today, but Post editor Col Allan is backing up his favorite artiste, issuing this statement:

The cartoon is a clear parody of a current news event, to wit the shooting of a violent chimpanzee in Connecticut. It broadly mocks Washington's efforts to revive the economy. Again, Al Sharpton reveals himself as nothing more than a publicity opportunist.

Way to stay in character, Col. Unfortunately, we couldn't find Delonas' classic depiction of mayoral candidate Freddy Ferer "on his knees, kissing the rear end of a grotesquely obese Al Sharpton" anywhere on line. But you can enjoy these blasts from the past.

6. OK the last one was funny

After all, if you can't make fun of the scummiest gold-digging parasite to ever hobble about the Earth, there's not much left to make fun of.

This whole uproar seems awful teapot-tempesty to me.

7. Anyone who attacks Heather Mills isn't all bad.

Some of those cartoons were vile...

Some I disagree with...

But they are political cartoons after all.

Attacking Liza Minelli or Gov. McGreevy is par for the course.

Hell in one attack on Liza Minelli he defended gay marriage.

Yes the dead chimp cartoon was beyond the pale.


But I do fear the vapors crowd will soon join in a chorus of there is nothing funny about that when it comes to resonable targets that simply disagree with your point of view.

8. Anyone think his renderings of Jim McGreevy are "interesting"?

11. I know Sean.

He grew up in my hometown. I had one of his earliest prints, a wickedly funny barroom scene. He was a really nice kid, genuinely talented and just as sweet as can be.

Working for the NY Post has really fucked up his head. I wouldn't piss up his ass if his guts were on fire.
