Numerous Newspapers Cancel Popular Comic Strip Over Joe Biden Criticism
Western Journal ^ | March 4, 2021 | Jack Davis

America’s defenders of the First Amendment have decided that a comic strip criticizing President Joe Biden’s transgender policies is more freedom of speech than Americans ought to be allowed to see.

The media conglomerate Gannett, which formerly used the slogan “A World of Different Voices Where Freedom Speaks,” recently banned the strip “Mallard Fillmore” from its publications, according to a report in The Washington Times.

Bruce Tinsley, who created the comic strip, said King Features, which syndicates his work, told him about the latest episode of America’s cancel culture at work

“It was a big shock. From what I’m hearing, it was unprecedented. My syndicate had never seen anything like it,” Tinsley said.

“...oh wait, they don’t ban leftist hate cartoons do they?”

Because they know that, unlike conservatives, leftists would raise holy hell until they reversed their decision.

Thanks. Everything he is doing is based on pure political expediency and responding to the reckless whims of demanding radicals in his party. But of course giving in to impulsive actions and ignoring good judgement has a way of coming back to haunt people.

You can already sense the looming economic, international, domestic and political disasters that are developing. Biden doesn’t have the mental ability to deal with them and whoever his handlers are won’t be able to manage them because it would expose Biden’s incompetence. So multiple crises will engulf and overwhelm the administration. At which point, Biden will resign due to “health reasons” and dump the entire mess of insoluble problems on the incompetent Harris.

Its going to be quite a show.

That is some scary, realistic shiite. You would give Stephen King a run for his money.

I was just wondering if Mallard Fillmore was still around.

His horrors pale in comparison to the potential disasters we’re may be soon facing. We’ve dodged some pretty scary things during our brief history as a country but luckily we had rational leaders to deal with them. We don’t have that luxury right now. My own scenarios keep me up at night.

I know how you feel.

We’re at the stage now where there is no place to flee from such tyranny, we’ve reached the western shore and they have caught up with us. It was time to stand up and fight... long ago, but we failed to do so, so they have every advantage. It is the beginnings of the wicked ‘system of the beast’ foretold in the bible.

Hi.

If a meteor hit the Capital while both houses of Congress were in session, would anyone notice or care?

Well, with this guy you never know.

I was thinking of his sister, and him not being able to differentiate
between her and his wife.

If you’ve only slept with one of them, it should be pretty hard
to confuse the two.

Oh well, maybe it’s easier than I think.

The Wash. Post and Wash. Times (due to space, possibly), don’t carry Mallard Fillmore any more. It was political satire at its best, along with Bloom County and the Farside.

Some black cartoons today are good re social commentary while a couple are outright anti-white, anti-Trump, anti-conservatives and anti-American.

Doonesbury remains one of the worst pieces of Marxist shit in ink and it is stupid to boot.

Damned. Where is Al Capp and Phony Joanie when you need him?

#11. to the player: Where did they put your balls?

Just for your sheer size and the safety of the smaller women you are playing against, a real woman or man would not endanger their safety or lives.

Guess you are neither!

Please do not compare in any way that sick twisted degenerate to the great Benjamin Franklin.
