Donāt give up on Lila, yet, ironflange. LOL. Thank you, everyone, for your kind comments yesterday and for loyally reading the strip. You keep me going, despite a difficult market. Hope everyone has a great week!
Comic reader: So, here in the righteous red state we live in, we have to suffer through āMallard Fillmoreā in our newspaper 7 days a week and āThe Meaning of Lilaā , a genuinely, consistently funny strip is not even syndicated?.Comics syndicate representative: You donāt think āMallardā is hilarous?.(comic reader slowly shakes his head and releases an audible sigh)
Lila was removed from the US military overseas newspaper, Stars & Stripes, about a year or so ago, too. I found the strip too good to give up on, so I read it online now. Thanks for a great strip, John.
Hi fr8-catā¦thanks for your comments. āLilaā is syndicated by Creators but is only in a handful of newspapers. It was in several more and major newspapers until Boyd came out and then it was removed for āspaceā reasons. Itās definitely been a struggle to get a more alternative comic strip in the newspapers. Creators has been very diligent, but the fight may just be too hard.
Lynn Johnston lost a few papers when one of her characters left the closet. It also explains why Mallard stays. The newspapers are dependent on advertising from multinational corporations. These corporations depend on a divide and rule principle and bigotry is the easiest way to divide.

Visualizing a future for someone without their consent is negative magic. It never does anyone any good.

Mom, get a life of your own. Lila, just let go of the speaker button and go back to whatever it was you were doing.
