Nice list...

Have you called/emailed your local paper?

Chattanooga Times Free Press and Washington Post come to mind.

Not so much the political transgression, I think, but rather that he snuck in the f-word.

Many local papers do not allow crude, vulgar crud, regardless of their politics.

I know I’ve read the cartoon hundreds of times and it has made me angry a lot, but, for the life of me, I cannot picture it in my head. I guess that’ll make it easy to forget.

Screw it. Keep the comic. Bring back Roseanne.
Stop censoring people just because you can.

our local newspaper, out here in rural farm country doesn’t run it. Its few comics are actually funny ones, including Blondi and similar. And it only comes out twice a week.

It always amazes me when people convince themselves that they're too big to fail.

The guy had a good thing going, and then he killed the golden goose over something totally irrelevant.

By Syracuse.com
The Post-Standard is dropping the comic strip Non Sequitur after the artist’s Sunday strip took a hidden profane shot at President Trump.

Sunday’s strip, a takeoff on Leonardo da Vinci’s 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?”

A reader called the wisecrack to The Post-Standard’s attention.

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.

Miller said he drew the strip about eight weeks ago and didn’t plan to keep the vulgar sentiment, the Dallas newspaper said.

“I now remember that I was particularly aggravated that day about something the president had done or said, and so I lashed out in a rather sophomoric manner as instant therapy,” he said, according to the Morning News. “It was NOT intended for public consumption, and I meant to white it out before submitting it, but forgot to. Had I intended to make a statement to be understood by the readers, I would have done so in a more subtle, sophisticated manner.”

He didn’t explain why, if he didn’t intend to publish the remark, he called it out to his Twitter following Sunday.

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

When I was younger and single there was an expression; “Don’t sh*t where you eat.” In those days it meant not to date or hit on women in your place of employment. It could also be used these days though for businesses or entertainers/artists and their politics. More and more people regardless of their personal feelings are getting sick of dealing with someone else’s sh*t served up to them when they didn’t ask for it. Let this be one more lesson to one more left-wing fool. Don’t sh*t where you eat.

The list is growing.

Since we don’t subscribe to a newspaper, there is nothing that we can do.

The Trump Curse strikes again and again.

I have often said that Leftist’s think on a thirteen year old’s level.

Here they guy says he didn’t mean to post it, but after he had, he tweeted a hint calling attention to it.

It wasn’t an accident . He was proud of it.

This is the same type of a lame ass excuse a thirteen year old would spout back to a patent when confronted over a lack of judgement issue.
