Utopia Talk / Politics / Butler Pa. News paper drops Non Sequitur

patom Member	Mon Feb 11 13:59:10 One of the best if not the best comic strips has been dropped by a Pennsylvania News Paper because of an insult to Trump. http://www...equitur-cartoon-053928182.html
Forwyn Member	Mon Feb 11 14:23:35 "Go fuck yourself Trump" Yeah, I can tell it must have been a good source of intellectual satire.
patom Member	Mon Feb 11 14:50:35 He should have been more biblical and wrote 'Go forth and multiply thyself'.
Rugian Member	Mon Feb 11 14:55:40 "One of the best if not the best comic strip" You only think that because the comic is set in Maine.
kargen Member	Mon Feb 11 16:49:16 http://www...mp_us_5c61bf25e4b09247fcc06e5b A bit more information there. I believe him when he said he didn't mean for that line to get into the strip. He takes shots at President Trump all the time so no need to sneak in something like this.
Rugian Member	Mon Feb 11 16:53:45 "On the same day the cartoon was published, Miller referred to Trump as “President Fuckwit” in one tweet and the “gaslighting projectionist” in another." Another Trump-hater who sounds like he has too much anger in his life. He needs to loosen up and have some fun!
kargen Member	Mon Feb 11 17:10:20 A lot of his strips are really funny. This is one of my favorites. http://www...ZZ1q3THLh&ust=1550012970110811
patom Member	Mon Feb 11 17:48:33 Rugian I think he does have fun. I look forward to his strip before I do the crossword. One of his best strips was about 10 years or so ago. I wish I had cut it out and saved it. Anyhow it was a couple of people looking in on hens sitting on nests. One of the hens had a KKK hood on and the caption had one of the people saying "She only lays egg whites"
kargen Member	Mon Feb 11 18:09:33 I like this one. http://imgur.com/oxoJmNg
Cherub Cow Member	Mon Feb 11 18:59:01 Weak comic. Newspaper comics have been [small penis emoji] lame for a long time though. I mean, can you imagine getting *paid* to write Family Circus? Like, he was able to afford to have five children as the creator of the least funny comic ever made, and he was published regularly in newspapers all over the U.S.. So yeah, the bar has been set at "Go fuck yourself Trump" for a long time. ..Dilbert gets a pass in this insult logic ;p
Y2A Member	Mon Feb 11 19:25:04 I thought you all supported "freedom of speech" lol
Cherub Cow Member	Mon Feb 11 19:50:26 He can say it, and I can call it lame, bad writing :p
Rugian Member	Mon Feb 11 19:56:18 Y2A, Who among us has expressed support for this newspaper's decision again?
smart dude Member	Mon Feb 11 23:37:08 A bit of a misleading headline. He didn't get dropped for insulting Trump. He got dropped because he put an f-bomb in the newspaper.
smart dude Member	Mon Feb 11 23:41:58 “When I opened the paper Sunday morning and read my cartoon, I didn’t think anything of it, as I didn’t notice the scribbling that has now caught fire,” Miller said in a statement to The Post." Uh, yeah. I, uh, didn't notice the thing that I wrote in my own cartoon.
