Doonesbury Comic Pulled and/or Edited

[tallahasseedem]

They think "Turd Blossom" is offensive?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (July 26) - About a dozen newspapers have objected to use of toilet humor in Tuesday's and Wednesday's "Doonesbury" comic strip, and some either pulled or edited the strip.

-snip-

Lee Salem, editor at Universal Press, said the complaints, from 10 to 12 newspapers, weren't unexpected, given the concerns many editors have about language in the funny papers. But as opposed to other times when editors have objected to Doonesbury content, the syndicate did not send out replacement strips.

I find the fact that our President started an illegal war even more offensive.

1. "Turd Blossom" survived in the Anchorage Daily News.

I loved it.

2. Because it says Turd Blossom? Tell me that can't be it. Please.

That's bush**s own pet name for the fat traitor bastard.

3. Maybe someone should explain

to the moralists where the nickname "turd blossom" came from.

4. They edited it by removing the words? That would make it make no sense

I'm hoping Trudeau makes it clear in the next strip that TurdBlossom is Mr.bush's nickname for his brain.

5. My eyes did pop out when I read it in today's Rocky Mt. News.

He does need to explain that it is *'s quoted nickname for Karl.
