Recent Obama cartoon appears to be unoriginal

TO THE EDITOR:  

Alex Lee's cartoon" published Jan. 27 a portrayal of what President Obama's mailbox might look like could have been quite funny had it not been almost identical to a graphical essay by humorist Evan Eisenberg of Time Magazine" called ""God's Inbox.""

I suggest everyone see it by doing a Google Image Search of ""God's Inbox"" and judge for themselves.

I will not rule out the possibility that these two cartoonists independently thought of the same idea" but student creations at the University have been accused of plagiarism for far less.

It's just a cartoon but I do feel that this unoriginality should be noted in the public record.
