Publicity stunt.
Does anyone even read Doonsbury?
Yo, she also machine-guns animals from helicopters and floods pristine wilderness areas with oil.
Dang, get it right.
Amazing - they do a good job of hiding it.
Stopped reading Doonesbury years ago.
It sucks.
Doonesbury is a comic strip like Islam is a religion.
I read the “Doonesbury” strip a of couple times. I came to the conclusion that you must have to be doing drugs to appreciate it.
Garry Trudeau is bitter and full of hate. Only people like him read his garbage.
Garry Trudeau and Joe McGinness are reputed to be seen together in the same picture having their way with chickens.
And Bill Maher is a comedian.
It’s on the editorial page in my paper.
My first thought. Publicity stunt.
they keep saying she’ll never be elected-
...so why are they so afraid of her?
Actually, Popeye had a more severe reaction when it touched on the abortion issue:

BOBBY LONDON INTERVIEW
S.C. RINGGENBERG: I’m speaking with Bobbie London. It’s July thirtieth, 1992. Bobbie, please tell me in your own words, what happened with the Popeye brouhaha with King Features.
BOBBIE LONDON: Well, on October twenty-fifth, I did a gag where the Sea Hag uttered the words: `Drat! There goes Roe v. Wade.’ and didn’t hear a peep out of the syndicate and since I always heard from them whenever they objected to any kinds of punchlines or other nonsense that I might have injected in the strip, which was seldom, but it did happen occasionally. I automatically assumed that Roe v. Wade was considered fair game by them and I proceeded to prepare a full-length story about the subject.
[ . . . ]
RINGGENBERG: And how long have you been drawing the Popeye strip?
LONDON: Since 1986.
RINGGENBERG: Okay, so why don’t you run down, as briefly as you want, exactly how did the syndicate notify you that your work was unacceptable and that you were being terminated?
LONDON: Well, in, you know, uh, they, I can, I can just tell you very briefly because it happened very briefly and very abruptly. They just, the editor, Jay Kennedy, just called me up and told me that they were unhappy with the storyline and I was fired. It was simple as that.
The question should be, “Does anyone read the Chi Trib?”
Maybe this is just a stunt to garner more readers.
Precisely.
Garry Trudeau. Jan Wenner. Lorne Michaels. et al.
The Depends Generation.
You’d have to be a really sick liberal to get any pleasure out of reading Doonesbury.
I think I vaguely remember a time, many years ago, when it was kind of funny. Something about the beak on that penguin. But I’m not really sure, it was such a long time ago.
