Wall Street Journal Plagarism? Probably not, so I apologize, sort of

Yesterday, during one of my usual "ripping the Wall Street Journal's cartoon a new one" rant I accused the artist of stealing from Matt Groening (the creator of the The Simpsons). I went home last night and found my old School is Hell book and...

Here's the Wall Street Journal cartoon:




Here's the Matt Groening cartoon I was thinking of from 1987:

In my head, the one-eared, Bart rabbit was holding a report card. Cut me a slight break though, I haven't seen this comic in over 20 years. Mistakes were made. That wording is strange enough that I did remember it. I guess it was "influenced" by Groening not stolen from him.

I apologize, sort of.
