“Proctor is a moralist who says, “I’ve always believed that why a subject behaved as he did was a proper subject for medical study, but how he behaved was a proper basis for judging a person.”
Victor S. Navasky, Naming Names

“These days, especially when cartoons deal with such matters as sex, sexism, sexual orientation, race, racism, religion, and religious fundamentalism, they can evoke primal responses. When that happens, while the viewer may denounce the cartoon, the irony here, as was the case with David Levine, is that it is precisely because the caricature has artistic depth and merit that the outrage is so keenly felt. The more powerful the caricature, the more outraged the protest.”
Victor S. Navasky, The Art of Controversy: Political Cartoons and Their Enduring Power
