I find annoyance with the fact that the Cleveland Plain Dealer ran this. But banned Non Sequitur in today’s paper! I believe very strongly in freedom of press. However. If you are going to ban one. Ban both! Or, better yet, ban neither! You are going to offend just as many people with a strip that can be found a tad racist, as you are with a strip about cooking children!
I will be the third to point out that The Cleveland Plain Dealer did not print this. Just a line claiming that it was “deemed offensive”. Fine. It may be offensive to our local population. (I am assuming it was found to be offensive because white people are portrayed as saying all black people look alike? A BS line that in my 32 years in this city I, as a white person, have never said. Nor have I ever heard it said!) But whatever. What annoys me is this strip (that you have to actually have a working braincell or two to even understand) was pulled. However, Dave Coverly’s “Speed Bump” strip from today WAS NOT! It’s ok to post a strip about COOKING BABIES! But not this. WTHeck!
