Bunker just finished reading the most important section of the local daily rag - the comics. Surely our favorite cartoonists don't have to participate in sanitizing the season with the rest of the PC media? Below is Bunker's highly scientific, research/time intensive study of how our cartoonists decided to promte PCism, or stand up for themselves and their beliefs. Some of the results will dissapoint. Can they say Merry Christmas just one day?
Garfield (Jim Davis) - "Merry Christmas"
Beetle Baily (Mort Walker) - "Happy Holidays"
Blondie - "Many Happy returns of the Day" -??
Sally Forth - "Happy Holidays" - (Expected from the pro Hillary comic strip)
Wizard of ID(Parker)- "Merry Christmas"
Frank and Ernest - "Happy Holidays"
Arlo and Janis - "Merry Christmas"
Alley OOp - "Merry Christmas"
an ozone study?
BTW Beetle Baily broke my heart.
Sadly few papers carry it today, and it's even getting tough to find it on line.

Ooops....I mean: "Merry X-Mas!"
No, that doesn't sound right, either...
Baily has been one of Awwchie's favorite cartoons for awhile. He was very disapointed this morning.
I know that's her daughter's name but ....
Johnny Hart's B.C. is always under the gun from the PC crowd.
Sluggy Freelance has "Merry Christmas!" above the box.... Along with the storyline being the latest Bun-Bun vs. Santa Claus war with Santa Claus mutated by alien DNA this year. I'm not sure what Pete Abrams's politics are, but he's not PC and he's taken some shots at Al Gore on occasion.
General Protection Fault "Happy Holidays!" outside the box, but the ad for the host of it has "Merry Christmas!" in it. I have no feel for Jeffrey Darlington's politics. Storyline has previously mentioned Christmas, but not involved in today's cartoon.
Kevin and Kell. "Happy Holidays" outside the box. "I'd like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas" in the text below the cartoon. Storyline is a take-off of A Christmas Carol, done on-line with the "Applications" of Christmas past present and future. Bill Holbrook (who also draws the regularly syndicated "On the Fastrack" and "Safe Havens") is a bit squishy left-of-center, but nothing terribly radical and nothing he's too pushy about.
But best of all I can now ( easily) get my GA daily fix!
