Crimson plagiarism, redux?

I mentioned in a recent post that the Harvard Crimson was investigating similarities between literary quotes used as examples in a Crimson column by Victoria Ilyinsky and literary quotes used as examples in a Slate column.

Today, the Crimson announced that it is investigating similarities between an Oct. 25 editorial cartoon drawn by Crimson editor Kathleen E. Breeden and a Walt Handelsman editorial cartoon published in Newsday earlier this month.

The online version of the Crimson story provides these handy links:

1) Breeden's cartoon (at top left)

2) Handelsman's cartoon

Seems like an open-and-shut case.
