I never thought about it that way. But that cartoon is real Art.
Think about it. A huge percentage of the world's population has seen it, it caused massive civil unrest, extended national(in many nations) debates, international debates, many people were killed, many societies changed, and it will continue to do these things in a very public way(not just scholars and the like) for many years and perhaps decades to come.
Isn't that how Great Art is supposed to be defined? Something that changed the world.
