OVERLAND PARK, KAN. (AP) -- A suburban Kansas City store owner says he has taken an Andy Reid T-shirt off his racks after learning the drawing of the new Chiefs coach looked like one by an award-winning Philadelphia Inquirer sports cartoonist. Hal Wagner, owner of Ace Sports and Nationwide Tickets at Oak Park Mall in Overland Park, Kan., says someone came into his store Friday peddling the shirts that proclaim: "Reid to Lead Our Team All the Way!"

Wagner says he thought the artwork was original until getting a call from cartoonist Rob Tornoe, whose cartoon of Reid with the same pose ran in his newspaper a few weeks back. Tornoe told The Kansas City Star (http://bit.ly/UtWSYg)on Sunday a friend had sent him a photo of the T-shirt in Wagner's store.
