...have been meaning to write for a few months now to complain about the offensive brand of humor relied upon by one of your cartoonists, Sebastian Conley. Imagine my surprise when I opened The Crimson (April 30) and was greeted with a "political cartoon" by Mr. Conley that actually contained a premenstrual-syndrome joke. Until now, I had been hesitant to write and complain about Mr. Conley, knowing how kindly this community is to feminists who complain about sexist jokes (Q: How many feminists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
