Mallard Fillmore is a newspaper comic strip with a conservative point of view, by cartoonist Bruce Tinsley. It appears in about four hundred U. S. newspapers. The title character is in fact a mallard duck. It first appeared in the Charlottesville, Va Daily Progress, but was dropped when Tinsley refused to tone down its conservative politics; it was subsequently picked up by The Washington Times.[1]
During the week of June 10, 2002 the strip dealt with the success of home-schooled students.[2]
The comic has created several controversies, one of which involved showing a clearly anti-semitic caricature of a stereotypical Jew. It was a reference to the myth that Hollywood is run by Jews. [3].
