Goat; Do you think comic strip censorship is more strict than the censorship you see in other forms of mass entertainment? Rat: Does a bear sit in the woods? Censor 1: Curse you, tricky Rat. Rat: What now? Censor 2: No more talk of bears in the woods.

Seriously, though, if you read “Bloom County” you’ll see that the funnies used to have subject matter and language that would be verboten today.

This isn’t satire. These Comic Strip Censors’ uniforms, hats and facial hair are still required under the Comics Code Authority (CCA), to be used “when policing the code of ethics and standards” for the industry, as mandated by the ACMP under authorization of the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency.

I’m not kidding. Comic Strip Censors have to wear top hats and red bow ties when on the job. Have to have Snidely Whiplash mustaches.

Reminds me when Greg Evans was doing a Luann strip years ago, dealing with the subject of Luann starting her menses. He absolutely was not permitted to use the word “period” at all . . . so when Luann whispered to her friend Bernice, Greg did it this way . . . :
“.”

Bears in the woods? How about Cubs in the Series?!?
Guilty Bystander over 10 years ago
I just hope when the Cubs win a pennant, their fans don’t become as insufferable as Red Sox fans have been since they won the Whirled Serious. Even Yankee fans are almost more tolerable these days. Almost.

everyone now has a potty mouth, even my sweet dear Mother, was trying to remember a piece on her piano, hit the wrong key and said sit… I almost passed out.

Thank God for censorship. I always think it’s funnier when they make fun of the censorship itself like in today’s strip
