Comic Strip Treads On Religious Rights (Big Ole Barf Alert)

The Columbus Dispatch ^ | 4-8-2005 | Edward M. Krauss

[Ramius]

This guy is all twisted up over B.C.??? Good grief. What was the "offending" cartoon?

[digger48]

B.C. sucks rocks anyway

[CzarNicky]

Mr. Krauss needs to move to France.

[twntaipan]

Or Canada...or Holland...the list goes on.

[MarkL]

I wonder if this guy is really Ted Rall? (sp?)

The cartoon in question: http://www.comics.com/creators/bc/archive/bc-20050321.html

[buccaneer81]

Better than "Doonesbury" and "For Better Or For Worse" or (yack) "Family Circus".

" What Hart conveniently forgets, as apparently does The Dispatch, is that there are at least 2,500 religions in America."


OK eddie, name em.

[MarkL]

Exactly... BC is one of the most innofensive cartoons ever.

Mr Hart is a decent man, which is probably what's really got this writer's short hairs in a twist. But then, some people really don't have anything better to do than look for things to get upset over.

Eddie Kraus is, of course, a bigot.

[Texas_Jarhead]

"...there are at least 2,500 religions in America. "

I've heard this and similar stats on the number of "religions" in America before but after searching and searching I cannot find a source for this statistic. Anyone have a clue?

[FreedomCalls]

What was the "offending" cartoon?

[Ramius]

Yah... and that sort of thing would never happen, uh, here... fer 'zample. :-)

It is kinda staggering to think of. Just imagine that guy's day. Of *all* the things he saw and heard on that day, ~this~ is the thing that pushed him so far as to write a letter to the editor.

Wow. I'm only glad that he has now warned everybody to try and not be standing next to him when he finally blows.

[cripplecreek]

Our local paper has carried BC cartoons since before I could read and have always contained religious content. I wonder why Eddie is speaking up now.

[VIDADDICT]

wonder why Eddie is speaking up now.

Just too much time on his hands

[maine-iac7]

B.C.is one of my favorites. There aren't that many good cartoonists left.

We need to let editors know we love BC -

and can somebody please give a one way ticket to BC - about 10,000 BC aught to do it - to this jerk

[Peter vE]

I wonder why Eddie is speaking up now.

It's "Johnny Hart" or whoever is writing the strip now, trying to stir up interest in a dying strip.

[cripplecreek]

"It's "Johnny Hart" or whoever is writing the strip now, trying to stir up interest in a dying strip."


The strip has always carried some religious content.

Wonder what this guy would think of "Day by Day"?
