It’s probably the F-— bomb more than the target.

“I’ll stick with Nancy and Sluggo”

I always thought Aunt Fritzy was hot. She’s no Blondie Bumstead, but man, oh man!

Tempted to, but won’t sign up just to reply. One of the commenters snarky response is “not my president”. Well, Sweetcheeks, if he isn’t your president, then you can’t impeach him. Now gfy.

This surprises me, however, in spite of some of the local politics, the Syracuse area tends towards the more conservative and civil side.

It does not surprise me that advertisers would have threatened to pull advertising revenue.

Wiley Miller: perpetually too clever by half.

Well, what I'm feeling about NS being pulled by a couple members of the dead tree/activist scribbler claque ain't exactly schadenfreude, but it ain't bad.

I think it’s likely both. :-)

Pretty much. Non Sequitur stopped being funny long ago. This stupid, vulgar, hate Trump act, gave the newspaper a very nice excuse to get rid of an expensive piece of garbage.

The vicious hate drips from these compassionate loving inclusive liberals.

I did.

To be fair, the editor responded in a timely and remorseful manner.

They also dropped this clown (with apologies to clowns everywhere).

“What ever happened to Nancy’s parents ?”

Per Wilipedia:

“There was never a sequence of episodes exploring Fritzi’s adoption of Nancy or what happened to Nancy’s parents; she just seemed to appear as Fritzi’s niece and gradually was seen more and more often throughout the 1930s.”

That is a long-lived comic strip!

The article claims "The crude reference eventually was scrubbed in the version of the strip published at GoComics."

But if you go to the GoComics link in the article it is still there.

If you can’t handle the push back don’t put it there in the first place.

Poor Aunt Fritzi being stuck with Nancy when she was enjoying a carefree flapper life style. At least Nancy has someone too look after her , Sluggo seems to be a homeless orphan
