The Post-Standard is dropping the comic strip Non Sequitur after the artists Sunday strip took a hidden profane shot at President Trump.
Sundays strip, a takeoff on Leonardo da Vincis drawings, contained a hard-to-read message suggesting the president Go f--- yourself.
The artist, Wiley Miller, teased his readers about the message in a tweet Sunday: Some of my sharp-eyed readers have spotted a little Easter egg from Leonardo Bear-Vinci. Can you find it?
Said Trish LaMonte, vice president of content for The Post-Standard and Syracuse.com: Mr. Miller made a juvenile and vulgar decision that does not meet our standards for the syndicated content we pay to have in the newspaper and is offensive to our readers, regardless of their political affiliations.
In a statement quoted in the Dallas Morning News, Miller said it was a mistake.
He didnt explain why, if he didnt intend to publish the remark, he called it out to his Twitter following Sunday.

Nancy and Sluggo!! LOL!!! YOU are OLD!
Well, I’ve looked and looked and I either can’t see it or can’t read it.
I’va always liked this cartoon. Till now.
This has been interesting. Having read Nancy since childhood in the late ‘50s, I never knew Aunt Fritzi had her own thing going on. Fritzi Ritz. I never knew!
HEY they are still doing new Nancy comic strips ! I’m not that old
Are you SERIOUS?? Nancy and Sluggo are STILL going?? WHERE, ALBANIA?
Here’s a link to the original comic. The offensive words had been edited out, or covered over, in all the links I found but I did an image search and it pulled up the original someone had saved. The message is in the lower right hand corner underneath the flying machine.

Same here... I can't see it. We haven't subscribed to a newspaper in many years, so I wasn't able to see it 'in person' either. Even though I can't see it, glad most newspapers dropped this comic.
Wiley Miller is a POS. I'm glad -- and actually surprised -- that so many newspapers are dumping his crappy cartoon.
Well, no wonder we coludnt see it, since it had been scrubbed. The man must have been off his meds.
He is a creep, though I have enjoyed his quirky humor in the past.
