KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Pat Oliphant will be the first American editorial cartoonist published in China by a Chinese-language newspaper, Universal Press Syndicate said Thursday.

Oliphant, who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1967, is expected to begin appearing in The Beijing Youth Daily within the next month, Universal said.

The message will be that “this is the way you should talk to your leaders and about your leaders,” Oliphant said. “The way leaders should be criticized.”

An interesting choice. Oliphant’s way of criticizing our leaders, you’ll recall, includes drawing Secretary of State Condi Rice as a buck-toothed, thick-lipped, dark-skinned parrot. Think he’ll be as brutal now towards China’s leaders in the pages of the Beijing Youth Daily?
