The cartoon that Gary Trudeau had in the Sunday Comics was the most tasteless abomination I've seen, even for him.
Joking about forest fire fighters being ineffective at doing their job, being impaired because they were inhaling marijuana smoke from a illegal "grow", so close to when 19 were killed fighting a recent forest fire, not only made me cringe it made me wonder about the mental capabilities and judgement of the those who chose to include this strip.
Trudeau was kicked off the Washington Post's comics page and moved to the editorial page for his tactlessness (and political agenda) not that long ago. Now to have put him back in the one section for the family to share is reckless.

This scumbag does NOT belong in the "Funny Papers"
He hasn’t belonged in the ‘funny’ papers for decades. The guy has NO sense of appropriateness
Is Trudeau trying to say forest fires would never happen if we legalized pot? There was a rumor about illegal growers starting the Yosemite area Rim Fire but it’s been discredited.
What a maroon.
A new low, even for Doonesbury.
Two questions: Why do you still buy newspapers and why are you reading Doonsbury?
He lost me way back in the 70s with his “cute” Viet Cong guy.
Meh, I’ve seen a lot worse cartoons by Trudeau. Remember “Reagan’s Brain”?
Someone should lock this D-bag in a room with the families of fallen firefighters.
He’s going for complaints on purpose. Standard practice when a show business type career is in trouble. Going for some of that “edgy” cred.
Back when I was taking the Tallahassee Democrat and it was heading into the crapper, they ran a survey each year. One of the questions was which comic strip would you like to get rid of? The answer was always Doonesbury. Each time they kept it.
Actually, they could have saved themselves the money and the effort as each time they ran the survey they published the results and then said why they weren’t going to make the changes people wanted. The Doonesbury reason was that it was the “only cartoon offering political commentary.” I was working for one of the editors then and she told me, “I just love Doonesbury. Everybody loves Doonesbury.” I pointed out that the readers didn’t and she said, “What do they know?” Well, the paper has gone down hill and been sold several times since. It’s still a liberal, anti-white racist rag, but it’s a much poorer liberal, anti-white racist rag.
Now, before I get ripped for posting some light stuff, just remember, Trudeau is what he is, a piece of crap.
I just ignore him most of the time, and I NEVER let him under my skin. Its what he wants.
So I deny him.
19 firefighters didn’t die because of pot smokers, they died because too many bureauKaRATZ were trying to manage things they knew nothing about.
Trudeau isn’t smart enough to know any of that, so I don’t give a RATZ patooty what he thinks or writes.
I thought I read somewhere that the authorities decided pot growers didn’t start the fire...?
I think you are right. I read that too.
IMHO, it was probably started by some mudslime jeehaddie.
But in the mind of moonbats like Trudeau, fact, truth and reality really don’t matter.
Sorry Gary but I’ve never thought your cartoons were funny, interesting, or entertaining.
