An upcoming "Doonesbury" comic will deal with masturbation, and across the country newspaper editors are grappling with how to handle it (pun intended).
Of the 34 newspapers that responded to a recent poll conducted by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, 19 papers said they would not run the strip...

Let's hope this means our society has hit bottom and that our social recovery can begin.

Oh c'mon now.
He's just being Progressively Proactive, and is raising the Public's conciousness on this important societal subject.

I don't like it when editors take matters into their own hands.

Who knew that Doonesbury was still being published in the first place? I thought that guy retired to live on some island paradise with Jane Pauley.
I remember reading him complaining about how horrible it was that people who weren't him and Jane Pauley were actually moving to the surrounding islands and ruining them with their low-rent existence.

I just e-mailed Maine's two major papers:
"You know what they say about pornography: `You know it when you see it.' There is a line between what's acceptable and what's offensive dialogue in a community like ours. For me, this crossed the line. I knew it when I saw it." Lou Ziegler, editor of the Forum of Fargo, N.D.
I would hope you would agree and not run the Doonesbury mastabation issue.
Thank you, I look folward to your reply.

He's been "jerking off" for years. He may even have more disdain for the US Military than Bubba has!

Ah, yes. They are taking their lessons from Madonna and Brittney.
Did you read the Nielson article that more people watched the Cartoon Network than CNN the other day. They have to do SOMETHING to get them back.
Maybe his next strip will have two lesbians kissing.
To: NativeNewYorker
Hasn't this subject been beat to death?
I just hope they can handle it
No reason to stoke out over this
Do you really think he'll get spanked over this?
