Today’s background music: “I Bet You They Won’t Play This Song on the Radio” by Eric Idle.

You can’t say crap around here.

What’s wrong with “red”?

Heck. Phooie. Darn.

I think Horace just gave all of us the bird.

Nice, we all thought it in panel 2.

I read that W.C. Fields used the exclamation “Godfrey Daniels!” in his films, because it was the closest the studio censors would let him come to saying “G** D***!” (I won’t try to spell it out here.)

@$#&%!!!…there – I said it…

Well, ain’t that some $#*@!!

I Couldn’t Spell !!*@! is a song by the great Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs.

Does Horace even have middle fingers?

Free s̆̈p̆̈ĕ̈ĕ̈c̆̈h̆̈, Horace!

Except for #̑̈%̑̈$̑̈@̑̈!

Radishes!

Gots REDacted, eh horsie.

best just scratch that idea, Horace….!

I want to know if Samson really wrote a word in those spots and then colored over it with the red, or if he just put the red scribble blocks in those places.

Shite happens, but if red shite happens, see your doctor immediately.

I have a poster of a cat doing that sign language. It says Fluff You.

But… but… why is the “sign language” scratched out? He doesn’t have fingers!

Sign language with hooves?

“I never realize how much I swear until I’m in a situation where I can’t” – Anonymous.

For using such language, he will be darned to eternal annoyance in the domain of Heck, presided over by Phil, the Prince of Insufficient Light.

On network TV talk shows, they now not only bleep out the sounds of certain words but also blur the mouths of the people saying them.

It was interesting when the actors on the show Schitt’s Creek appeared on Stephen Colbert’s show. The network couldn’t bleep out the name of a show it wanted to promote, so every time an actor said the show’s name, the show’s logo was superimposed on the screen.

It’s Horace’s first cussin’, thrice removed.

I remember learning in high school biology that horses’ hooves are actually the middle digit of each limb—the other digits having evolved to mere vestigial bumps on the lower leg.

So if Horace just raises a hoof, he’s automatically giving the middle finger.

Ɗǟɱɱĩț! The censors got you! All you ƨưɱɓĩțɕĥɘƨ should revolt!

Got to say the Gocomic censorbot is bloody ridiculous, stopping words that are both a MILD expletive and a defined noun e.g. b17ch, which is a female dog (check your dictionary) and a mild expletive. Doesn’t matter which situation it is used in.And DANM, which really cannot be called an expletive or swearing but rather an expression of frustration.And the “no help” desk is worse than useless in this regard, completely ignoring the paying customers’ polite queries and requests
