Burt has assembled his “Mission Impossible” crew! “Your assignment: rescue Sophie from an impregnable fortress with multiple security systems. If you or any of your team are caught, the government will deny any knowledge or the existence of your organization. This tape will self-destruct in 5 seconds. Good luck, Burt.”
The super brood of cicadas, which at times sounded like the sound track of a bad B-movie-style horror flick around Nashville, has died down a bit, so evenings are now once again filled with the cricket-and-peep-toad serenade. Loving this Sunday’s strip, thank you for this gift, Georgia! It’s exactly what I needed to see this Sunday morning!
The issue that Gannett has with Prickly City is that the conservative girl, Carmen, has a liberal best friend, the coyote Winslow, and they find common ground and remain friends. Gannett, as a Trump supporter, believes that liberals are dirt, so showing a liberal as being worthy of friendship and having value is not acceptable.
Gannett-published newspapers like the Tennessean dropped Doonesbury, Prickly City, and Curtis at the same time they dropped all the women-drawn comics – anything that wasn’t 100% in line with their publisher’s extreme conservative views. Gannett is the spearhead; I NEVER thought I’d see the day that a PUBLISHER attacked 1st Amendment rights. Talk about the enemy within!
