My guess is it was intentionally “illegible” so he could pull a “fast one” and brag to all of his peers on what he accomplished.

Hypocrisy thrives in Darkness.

According Andrews McMeel Syndication, “Non Sequitur” goes out to more than 700 newspapers, including The Washington Post, which ran Sunday’s comic in print and online. *A spokesperson for The Post did not immediately comment.*

I remember a local tv station had a sports anchor who was to tape his morning sports report the night before so that it could air the next morning. The anchor flubbed his words and let out a blue streak of frustration. They then retaped the segment successfully but the first tape was not deleted and it was the first, flubbed, tape that wound up getting aired.

The anchor was fired because cursing on-air is a major no-no that can be cited in challenges to their broadcast license. It’s completely unprofessional. While newspapers don’t have FCC accountability, cursing in the paper is considered just as toxic as it is on television.

The reaction to this is not political. It is breaking the alleged ethics of the news media. If this cartoonist is a free-lance contractor, he’s getting punished big time for all these newspapers dropping him and whoever is his distributor is likely very unhappy too because it is costing them money.

BTW, don’t feel sorry for the sports anchor. He got picked up by a national network. Call it Non-white Privilege.

Children read comics, I don’t think it’s acceptable to use the F-word around children. Call me a fuddy-duddy, I don’t care

Very accurate headshot to your own noggin, Wiley.

But your bank account hates you for it.

The replacement cartoon is the family-friendly “Nancy.”

Not the Micky Spillane version of Nancy:

“Many local papers do not allow crude, vulgar crud, regardless of their politics.”

I’ve always thought that many local papers trade in crude, vulgar crud.

Like they should be complaining, with that name.

My gosh. I never would have thought it was to Trump. You have to really look closely. However, I am glad to see the media taking a stand for a change.

He was so vain.

Pointing it out to his fans on Twitter.

That was so blatant.

Who’d he think he was? A Clinton???

Catering to the sensibilities of your paying customers is not censorship. They were paying this guy to entertain their paying customers. Instead he insulted them. NO surprise he lost his gig. But no one is preventing him from saying what he wants to say. Hereon he will just have to provide his own soap box.

““It was NOT intended for public consumption, and I meant to white it out before submitting it, but forgot to.”

uh, yeah. just like AOC claimed her GND outline was a “draft” not meant for public consumption and was “accidentally” published on her Congressional website (after first denying it was published there at all)/

You may not care if young children are exposed to that kind of obscene vulgarity, but most of use prefer that not occur.
