On Tuesday, April 19th, the "Bent Offerings" comic panel had a picture
of a dog's head with headwear.  Below it was the word "Nefertoto."
It is obviously a play on words.  "Toto" is Dorothy's little black
dog from 'The Wizard of Oz' fame.  Combining this with some royal headwear
from the Eqyptian Queen Nefertiti, one easily arrives at Nefertoto.

Now for the flap...

Someone complained that the cartoon was offensive.  It was announced that
the Sun-Times would apologize for running that cartoon.
