    My local newspaper, San Jose Mercury News, dropped Miller’s strip last week after the Trump f-u incident…Glad I can still read his stuff here.

    Newspapers by their very nature should be broader minded and more ‘global’ in philosophy than to kau tau to a narrow segment of the public. But, over the decades, the changes in ownership to the ‘moneyed interests’ has narrowed their focus to favor special interests.

    Danae is lucky to be able to express the frustrations each of us directs toward hackers and robocalls. Bet a lot of readers would like the same opportunity in some form.

    Yeah, you can change the name but the villainy continues. Once boot leggers, drug dealers and other nefarious sorts get enough money they try to go legit. Perhaps that is business evolution?

    If your local paper dropped the strip and you disagree with that decision, let the paper know. If the supporters outweigh the complainers, some papers will reverse their decision. Cancel your subscription until they start carrying the strip again. Subscribe to a paper that still runs it. Write a letter to the editor supporting the strip. There’s action you can take, same as for those who were offended by the strip.

    At least you still have a newspaper. All we have left is the “Not so Grand Rapids” Amway Ass Kissing Gazzet.

    If you own the press (newspaper) you have the freedom to decide what is published. Wiley doesn’t own the Oregonian, although I wish he did

    Actually, I suspect the outrage was more about the obscenity than the “trump”. And about tastelessness more than politics.

    The Kansas City Star joined the other cowardly newspapers in dropping the strip. (To add insult to injury, they replaced it with “Nancy”!) But they printed (mutltiple times) Trump’s idiotic comments about bleephole countries and his contemptible comments about grabbing bleep, WITHOUT the bleeps. To paraphrase conservative pundit George Will’s comment about Trump, “What a sad, embarrassing wreck of a newspaper.”

    I dropped my local newspaper subscription after 30+ years after it dropped Miller’s strip, I too wish to support open access to critical thinkers like our socially conscious cartoonists.

    So, YOU demand that the newspaper support your right to be rude over the vast majority that request a little civility?

    Lucy must be special. By my observation concern for “privacy” is absolutely the last thing on a horse’s mind in doing absolutely anything and everything horses do.

    I stopped reading comics in the papers when my home town paper stopped publishing Cathy…it was also her original home town paper. I wrote to them and got no response so I stopped my subscription and found my comics on line.

    It wasn’t about the President, it was about the use of the “f” word.

    It doesn’t make a person sound grown up, it doesn’t make a person sound cool, it’s not a substitute for “uh”, and it certainly didn’t belong in a comic specifically intended to attract children through a coloring page.

    Lambasting the papers for dropping the comic is sadly misdirected. Had the statement merely been a jab at the President, they wouldn’t have blinked an eye.

    It was the use of that word that triggered the censorship, not the object.
