Pennsylvania paper drops syndicated cartoon over Trump insult
FOX News ^ | 02-10-2019 | Staff

At least one newspaper says it has dropped the syndicated cartoon "Non Sequitur" after a vulgar message to President Donald Trump appeared in it.

The Butler Eagle in Pennsylvania reported Sunday that the "shot at President Donald Trump" will cost cartoonist Wiley Miller "his place in the Eagle's Sunday comics."

A scribbled message in one panel of that day's cartoon appears to begin with "We fondly say go ..." followed by the message to Trump.

Ron Vodenichar, Eagle publisher and general manager, said in the paper that the paper was alerted about the message by a reader and included a syndicated comic strip.

"Neither the Butler Eagle nor any other newspaper that includes this strip had an opportunity to remove it even if they had discovered it before distribution. We apologize that such a disgusting trick was perpetuated on the reading public. The Butler Eagle will discontinue that comic immediately," he said.

The paper’s article was titled, “Loose Lips Sink Strips.”

It's not clear whether other publications have dropped the strip, distributed by Andrews McMeel Syndication. The company's website says "Non Sequitur" appears in more than 700 newspapers.

Butler, unlike Chicago, is definitely MAGA Country, so I fully understand and applaud the paper’s decision.

It’s a shame.

Non-Sequitur was one of my favs.

Now I know WILEY is a TDS Dem Lib, so I won’t be reading his crap any more..................

Wiley’s Nonsequitor is not a child’s comic. It has always been a cutting edge political bit

I would expect at least a few readers of the Eagle will react positively at such a bold move by extending their subscriptions.

Perpetuating them might be a stretch though.

They frequently have lefty propaganda in that strip. They are usually more low key with it. But if you are just now figuring out that it is to the left of Doonesbury....

Leftists are like nasty little children, spewing their hatred anywhere and everywhere they can, and unable to restrain themselves. Watch a movie made by a leftist? Read a review? Read ANYTHING? It’s only a matter of time before their Trump hatred breaks free and they start vomiting it up.

They really are mentally ill and nothing they produce should be tolerated in civilized society.

That’s unreadable. Terrible, or no talent as a cartoonist, actually.

And here I thought it was just some kind of Latin in bad handwriting....

The “Bear Resistance” is alive and well with Wiley Miller.

The act is biologically impossible. Even for a hermaphrodite.

Unless things get bent into a “U”.
