There once was a man from Nantucket....
Is it just me? I can’t decipher any of the scribbles.
Much less the offending one.
Yup, Butler Co went for Trump 66% to 29%. It is seeing an influx of morons though.
Second panel, lower right corner, there are scribbles, but you can clearly make out “_UCK YOURSELF TRUMP” with a few extra scribbles to camouflage it.
Right... I don't either!
Regards,
I took it out of my feed.
Sad too, I liked the non-political stuff in that comic.
For the record, I still read Doonesbury. But, I expect what I get there.
Unless and until we start hitting them where it hurts, in their pockets and pocketbooks, they will keep their crap going.
They would do no less to us, and have........................
“Wow somebody has waaay too much time on their hands to “spot” that”
It’s funny how the mind works, that little bit of scratchy writing on the bottom right-hand corner might have jumped right out at somebody whose mind is attuned to the preciseness that would be required to notice that.
It’s like Mozart or perhaps that new Swedish chess champion who’s in his late teens. They just have a mind for it. The brain is an amazing thing. Some people can remember faces and names and all sorts of minutiae that other people don’t have a penchant for. That just goes with the territory.
If he's known for dropping "Easter eggs", people look for them.
Way back in college, latter 1970s, a guy from the Boston area would see how fast he could find "Amy" hidden in a Boston Globe editorial cartoonist's chicken-scratch. "Amy" being the name of the artist's daughter.
The same thing happened in reverse to Pogo after Walt Kelly died. His son took over the strip The offending panel there had the lead character Pogo asking the question;
What good is it to be Politically Correct,
If your Morally Wrong?
Within a month the strip was dead.
Yes one time it showed a talk radio host whom it named Rush Slimebaugh
“And here I thought it was just some kind of Latin in bad handwriting....”
As did, I’m sure, many of those familiar with the original sketch. I know I didn’t pick it up.
I roasted my local rag about this, and included the panel in question. With the GFYT wording highlighted.
Next step is contacting what’s left (the remainder, that is) of their advertising base. Oh, and Twitter.
Indeed. Every time I post a pro-Trump comment, or take one of their anti-trump tirades to task, I get blasted for making a comment on THEIR comic strip.
I continue to do so. It's like taking a stick and dragging it across the bars on a monkey cage.
Wiley frequently did hat tips to Jim Eason the legendary talk radio guy in SF for many years. That is why I started looking at his cartoons
More left than Doonesbury? I didn’t think that was possible. Although Berke Breathed gives Trudeau a run for his money.
