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?
1979? 1972.........
I prefer the term "it sucks!". I have no idea why Mr. Jane Pauley is still trying to do a cartoon strip, at least his wife had the sense to quit while "near" the top of her game.
(Maybe it's me, but I remember when comic strips were....FUNNY!)
