Yesterday, Australian police arrested a 17-year-old who allegedly planned to detonate three pipe bombs in Melbourne on Mother’s Day:

The AP tweet was missing critical details, as Ace pointed out:

which cartoons and/or videos were responsible? @maggieNYT @KenShepherd

We’ll wait for the AP to find out who’s really to blame.

Ace wasn’t alone in his curiosity:

Yes, do tell which conservative is to blame for this. @AceofSpadesHQ @maggieNYT @KenShepherd

@AceofSpadesHQ Family Circus probably.

.@AP Have you figured out how Pam Geller did it yet?

@AP did Melbourne apologize yet? Just want to be sure I understand your position

Just to be on the safe side, we should take Garry Trudeau into custody @Furbysbadday @AceofSpadesHQ @maggieNYT
