The Post-Standard is dropping the comic strip Non Sequitur after the artist’s Sunday strip took a hidden profane shot at President Trump.
Sunday’s strip, a takeoff on Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings, contained a hard-to-read message suggesting the president “Go f--- yourself.”
The artist, Wiley Miller, teased his readers about the message in a tweet Sunday: “Some of my sharp-eyed readers have spotted a little Easter egg from Leonardo Bear-Vinci. Can you find it?”
Said Trish LaMonte, vice president of content for The Post-Standard and Syracuse.com: “Mr. Miller made a juvenile and vulgar decision that does not meet our standards for the syndicated content we pay to have in the newspaper and is offensive to our readers, regardless of their political affiliations.”
In a statement quoted in the Dallas Morning News, Miller said it was a mistake.
He didn’t explain why, if he didn’t intend to publish the remark, he called it out to his Twitter following Sunday.

It’s probably the F-— bomb more than the target.
“I’ll stick with Nancy and Sluggo”
I always thought Aunt Fritzy was hot. She’s no Blondie Bumstead, but man, oh man!
Fake Nancy & Sluggo
Tempted to, but won’t sign up just to reply. One of the commenters snarky response is “not my president”. Well, Sweetcheeks, if he isn’t your president, then you can’t impeach him. Now gfy.
This surprises me, however, in spite of some of the local politics, the Syracuse area tends towards the more conservative and civil side.
It does not surprise me that advertisers would have threatened to pull advertising revenue.
Well, what I'm feeling about NS being pulled by a couple members of the dead tree/activist scribbler claque ain't exactly schadenfreude, but it ain't bad.
I think it’s likely both. :-)
Wiley is not so wily.
Washington Post ran the comic.
Punch back twice as hard.

What ever happened to Nancy’s parents ?
What kind of a weirdo finds a kid's...
...hey, uhh...never mind.
The vicious hate drips from these compassionate loving inclusive liberals.
I did.
To be fair, the editor responded in a timely and remorseful manner.
They also dropped this clown (with apologies to clowns everywhere).
Twitter-spank him. I did.
“What ever happened to Nancy’s parents ?”
Per Wilipedia:
“There was never a sequence of episodes exploring Fritzi’s adoption of Nancy or what happened to Nancy’s parents; she just seemed to appear as Fritzi’s niece and gradually was seen more and more often throughout the 1930s.”
That is a long-lived comic strip!
But if you go to the GoComics link in the article it is still there.
If you can’t handle the push back don’t put it there in the first place.
Poor Aunt Fritzi being stuck with Nancy when she was enjoying a carefree flapper life style. At least Nancy has someone too look after her , Sluggo seems to be a homeless orphan
