The nuts ARE running the asylum in Chicagoland...
Today's 11/27 cartoon in the PAPER carried a note: "TOday's Get Fuzzy strip does not meet our standards for taste, so please enjoy this substitute strip from 2002."
So, they showed some strip. Curiosity got me wondering WHAT was so terrible that they had to pull it...
So, to www.comics.com I went.
HERE is the strip they refused to post.
Clearly, a cartoon cat with his "thumbs up" review for the pretty puppy is too much for the Trib...but, they printed the Doonesbury "Watch it Brown Sugar" comment cartoon with President Bush and Condi...AND, they printed the "cartoon" from The Boondocks today where the two kids are speaking.."Coling Powell will be sorely missed, Who else could tell lies to the whole world with such dignity and integrity?"
The media are NUTS...they must be eliminated.
No, the MSM are not nuts. They are deceitful socialist vermin who (of course) must be eliminated.
You can hardly tell where those thumbs are going. ;-)
Yesterday's Boondocks shows what a nutcase that cartoonist is becoming. He actually thinks we won the election because the Republicans "control the voting machines." Unreal. On well.
GLOAT GLOAT GLOAT :)
Yes, and boondocks has great content as well.
"The Media" don't have to be "eliminated," just replaced.
Then, this one seems a little over the top too, with people being beheaded in Iraq... Oh, ChiTrib...where is your head AT???? Oh, I think I know... DUH!
BTW stopped reading the trib a long time ago because of boodocks, found it a racist and offensive cartoon, suitable for only members of the daley mob.
The 'little' guy has his thumb up the others butt - that is offensive and would have generated a gazillion complaints. Plus it isn't even funny IMO.
Now maybe little kids might not have 'got it', but I'm sure teens and adults would have.
Junk like this cartoon is why I've sold all my Tribune Stock.
Sounds like a good case of hypocrisy on the part of the Chicago Tribune.
LOL...the only things in the Trib worth reading are the sports pages, they can't LIE about who won the game...and three cartoons. I take about 8 minutes to "read" that birdcage wrap and then I still have to wash my eyes out...
It's just too funny for words actually.
G
Does anyone actually read or buy a particular newspaper just for the comics (cartoons) in it? Crossword Puzzles I could understand but a comic strip?!?
(I must be getting really old)
In this morning's Trib,
they review an e-service
that makes greeting cards,
and the Trib writer
doesn't know the difference
between thumbnail pics
and full image files
that give high resolution.
Not a good paper.
If Ihad to wager a guess, I suppose they dont like this cartoon because it basically says "Roger Ebert is stealing money for what he does". He's a Tribune guy, isnt he?
I am simply offended because all these cartoons are not funny. Is it too much to ask for the "funny page" to be, oh I don't know, FUNNY?
That cartoon is why the internet was created! I think it's funny, having followed the characters, but I believe the paper is within its rights to not run it if they feel it's in bad taste.
What can I say? I like South Park, too.
Idiots-in-Charge generally earn the title honestly and work diligently at maintaining the required qualifications, no matter what the Idiots in Charge are in charge of.
The Tampa Tribune put in an alternate strip for "Get Fuzzy" today too....
I don't think the Chicago Tribune was alone in this one.
That cat Bucky is such a Nazi, he could be a role model for the staff at either paper. Continuous obscene gestures lurk just below the surface all the time.
Actually, Bucky's a Republican. Or at least he was pro-Bush. Satchel was for Kerry. But neither of them really knew why.
It was pretty funny when they both started beating up Rob when he said he was thinking about voting for Nader.
