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.

liberal leftists demoncRAT Trudeau hasn't anything useful. He went out for drugs and never came back.

The offending strip:

Pathetic. Juvenile. Purile. Liberalism at it's finest.

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.

"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]

Does anybody even read that strip anymore?

Trudeau is a pathetic, talentless ignoramus who can't even illustrate his own strip. That said, W's nickname for Rove IS "turd blossom."

"Doonesbury" contains humor?

'Doonesbury' is no longer a comic strip. It's become a platform for Trudeau's extreme leftist political views and animus towards President Bush. At least our paper puts it where it belongs, on the editorial page; I put it in the trash. It's the 21 century, but Garry's still doing the time warp circa 1971.
Old, bitter and lame--another aging hippie blinded by the light.

Anyone see this one from Sunday:

http://news.yahoo.com/comics/uclickcomics/20050724/cx_db_uc/db20050724

It easily could have been a propaganda piece delivered on videotape by a hooded Muslim in Pakistan.

The audience for Doonsebury is the newspaper editors. They get to foist humorless leftist tripe on their readers under the guise of comics. No one ever reads it. If they forgot to run it on any given day, no one would complain.

Doonesbury is for that crowd that finds humor in crude leftwing agitprop.

Dungbury?

Mr. T is a humorless hack, with characters that are still stuck in 1972.

Found it interesting that the very left leaning Austin American Statesman ran a strip from April in lieu of the Rove strip. I figured it would be right up their alley.
