    Fortunately, the censors don’t need censoring.

    He went to UC Berkeley? Does that make him a Bear Ass?

    I support Rat’s right to use the word of his choice – as long as it isn’t Lemming

    He’s so smart that he can sit on ice cream and tell what flavor it is.

    I’m on the side of both Rat and the censors.

    Whenever I’m accused of being a smart ass, I respond, “Better than being a dumb ass.”

    Not being English, I have never been punished for using words like F*. I can call my wife a B* and she’ll smile, but I shouldn’t use the Dutch equivalent or all hell will break loose.

    In Australia, a Member of Parliament from the Country Party once finished his speech with the immortal words:" … and I’m a Country Member!"To which was given the response:“OK, we’ll remember!”

    The words themselves aside, I do love to see Cartoon-Boy beating up the Comic Strip Censors!

    The censors aren’t there because of the word “ass”. They’re there because Pastis is recycling an ancient joke.

    Shouldn’t the snout in the last panel be colored grey, not tan? I’m pretty sure that’s Dr. Donkey’s nose, not Goat’s.

    Yes, context is key. On The Daily Show, they can say “Dick” in reference to Cheney, but the same word is bleeped when used as a phallic reference.

    At least the GoComics’ nannybot is less aggressive than it used to be. I can remember typing “Dick Van Dyke” and it came out “**** Van ****”…

    No doubt about it… Was also a Major in the Army and his first name is John but he prefers Jack…

    That also makes him Major Jack Ass.

    I remember a LONG time ago about 15 yrs or more, seeing a smart donkey sitting in a chair reading and a stupid rabbit. The caption said something about Smart ass / Dumb bunny. My dad saved it, he identified with the bunny.

    There’s a company in the US that makes these large, really really large industrial fans. They just came out with a line for homes too. See www.bigassfans.com. (No, I have no connection to them.)
