Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for April 09, 2023

Editing, in the form of not LYING will prevent almost all of the Far right positions:

Trickle Down is good for you, there is no such thing as increasing wealth inequality, only wealth envy

There is no racism

More guns make us safer, the only thing to stop a bad guy with a gun…, ANY effort to reduce gun violence is exactly the same as total confiscation of all guns

Widespread undetectable voter fraud, the election was stolen

Climate change is a hoax, so is covid

We want abortion to be left to the states.

You’re not allowed to investigate because Trump is innocent

George Soros controls Alvin Bragg, and every other AG investigating The Messiah

Saddam really had nucular weapons

It’s OKAY If A Republican Does It

Great advice, Rick and Joanie. It’s too bad Trump never followed it!!

How many people still watch (shudder) The Cosby Show, or Rosane? How many people still listen to Michael Jackson, or R. Kelly, or Kanye West, or Kid Rock? If you dig deep enough, I’m sure you’ll find atrocious behaviours of many other artists as well, and yet we can still appreciate their works.

But there is so much fun to have at justifying censorship, comrades !

Listening skills, Rick and Joanie — That’s what produces world-class parenting !!

As my favorite Star Trek character is fond of saying, “Oh My”.

Mr. Trudeau is assuming that most people are rational.

Nice dig at “Dilbert” without saying it. Personally, I wish Dilbert would come back. I liked him and the crazy office hyjinks.

Mention to her WHAT?

Self-editing oneself is noble…Being edited by someone else…

(sung)Ohhh, Hi Infohhhhhh, we miss you sohhhhhhh.

What was he gonna mention? Last night’s hockey score?

Get a Dilbert calendar or even better a desk calendar.

Still amazing how people can say offensive things, and then get angry when people are offended.

‘Mondays’ finally had enough of what Garfield was spewing and did something about it.

Garfield did get a raw deal. He might have ended up being one of the great presidents if he hadn’t gotten shot right away.

Scott Adams has the right to say a lot of dumb racist crap, but newspapers also have the right to stop publishing his comic, which many of them have done.

Lasagna does sound good tonight.

“Everything you say should be true. But not everything true should be said.” – Voltaire

Mondays have rights, too!

I think Mr. Trudeau may have forgotten the many times he and Doonsbury were the target, on those occasions he never edited or backed down to get along. His suggestion that others should now, seems a change in his artistic philosophy.

What a bunch of crap.

“Consequences for my actions?! That’s FASCISM!”

Golly. Is all the outrage espoused here about “censorship” and the “cancel culture” perhaps in reality due to the likes what the kids say today? Something like “intercoursed around and found out” perhaps? Oops!

Joanie has not aged well.

Is “Garfield” still a thing?

Donald Trump wears more make up than many drag queens.

What did Rick not want to mention to Joanie?

It’s pretty obvious that Garfield is a product of the artist’s baser instincts. Oh, newspaper publishers and comic syndicators bear quite a bit of the blame.

Marc Maron did the following bit:

I’m an old fart, but I think I’m pretty woke. I’d say I’m about…85% woke. The other 15%, I keep my mouth shut. Which is kind of the point.

Thou shalt not annoy other people, and if thou art other people, thou shalt not get annoyed too easily.

It’s a good thing we’ll always have Dilbert. Good ol, safe content, Dilbert.

Happy Easter everyone!

I’ve been skipping over Garfield for years. That strip should have retired decades ago.

Cancel Scott Adams? That’s mighty white of you.

I can see that the readers of this column are following the parental advice about editing.
