Trudea has been empty of ideas since he came back from his vacation 20 years ago. So of course he has to resort to sensation when he can't make his points with wit.

But Bush really does refer to Rove as "Turd Blossom," among other meant-in-fun nicknames. It's meant in a positive way, if you think about it: unpleasant boyhood surroundings, but Rove "blossomed" nevertheless.
Maybe there's some other reason for pulling the strip I'm not seeing. For example, the fact that it hasn't been funny since roughly 1979?

Here in Buffalo the Buffalo(Liberal)News has Doonsbury at the top right of the "Comic" strips while it recently regulated(buried) my favorite strip "Dilbert" in the financial section next to the stock quotes.
Disgusting.

The offending strip:
Pathetic. Juvenile. Purile. Liberalism at it's finest.
To: COBOL2Java
Actually he is the lead editorial writer for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

We 9fortunately) only get TD's turdbeau strip on Sunday's, but it is center of the first page of the comics.
They are (now) uniformly "hate Bush" repeats. Much like he did against Nixon for two years straight in the 70's.
Crankshaft's writer/drafter is very simpathetic to the country's threats in his two strips.
BC even more so.

I'm getting the sense that we all here hate "Doonesbury" as much as I do.
"Doonesbury" is about as painfully unfunny as Tina Fey writing a "Police Academy" movie starring Queen Latifah.
It just doesn't get any lower than that in the humor chain.
To: pcottraux
"Toilet humor" from an irrelevant, washed up leftist "cartoonist".
Wow, that's an original idea ole Garry Trudeau (whose name is mysteriously missing from this report) had there, huh? How creative. [Sarcasm]

Actually he is the lead editorial writer for the Philadelphia Inquirer. He is? I always thought he was a cartoon character. Oh wait, Philadelphia Inquirer...never mind.

What a lazy ass cartoonist he is. Four frames of a building with dialog bubbles?!?
I guess drawing actually characters is too much work.
