paisley Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Doonesbury! wow, what unbelievable crap! right after I posted that I saw this: Doonesbury to be dropped for being "too controversial" The Continental Features comics syndicate has announced that it will be dropping Doonesbury because the strip is "too controversial" (lately, Trudeau has been using the strip to criticise the Iraq War and Fox News). The Continental head said he doesn't know exactly when "Doonesbury" will leave the package; he's currently polling clients to see if they want to replace it with "Agnes," "Get Fuzzy," "Pickles," "Zits," or another comic. "Doonesbury" -- which appears in more than 1,400 papers via Universal Press Syndicate -- has made a lot of news this year with strong criticism of President Bush and the Iraq war. In one sequence, Trudeau offered $10,000 to anyone who could prove Bush served in the Alabama National Guard. And, in an ongoing story line, the B.D. character lost a leg in Iraq and is dealing with the aftermath of that devastating injury. Continental: Complaints Led to Drop-'Doonesbury' Poll Fox News wins again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
