‘bout time. Was boring and unfunny on its best days
The rag is owned by Advance Publications.
This decision surprises the ever-livin’ snot outta me.
Wonder if some YUGE advertiser/s threatened to pull the plug?
Bullshit! The only mistake made was that he did not think that he would get called on it. Good for the newspaper for dropping him.
Don’t credit the paper yet. Like I said, check out the ownership.
I’d really like to know why the rag did it. My bet is some advertisers threatened to walk.
Good. One slight victory for normal people.

If he hadn’t tweeted that out, the pretend “whoops, wrong cartoon” would have allowed the newspaper to have an excuse to let him say. Well, as we can see he’s not known for cleverness.

700 newspapers run this comic. Have you contacted yours?
Non Sequitur has been bashing Christians for years - only “self-actualized” atheists will shed a tear.

That strip routinely runs ‘hate your President’ crap... my local paper carries it too. Disgusting ...
I’ll stick with Nancy and Sluggo
In a Huff Post story, he admitted to scribbling it a couple months ago, annoyed at something the president said and then forgot about it... Of course, he also promises to never do it again.
A number of papers have dropped the strip; particularly of note, the strip invited kids to color it. Guess we know which artist will be doing the 2020 DNC programs now.
It is at the bottom of the second panel. I am calling the N&O. I would love to see this a-hole deplatformed.
Dumped by the Times Dispatch this morning:
They truly can’t help themselves.
He was misquoted in his autobiography./sarc
The issue was probably not the attack on Trump; but rather, the profanity. If he’d kept the hidden message “G-rated”, there would probably be no problem.
