Fresno Bee pulled Doonesbury the entire week because they deemed it “inappropriate” for their readers.

I have been a columnist for the Athens Banner-Herald newspaper for over 20 years. I am glad that the editor reconsidered his decision regarding the Doonesbury comic strips.

I talked with someone at the Minneapolis StarTribune who told me that self-censoring (they didn’t use that word) the strip was a difficult decision, “not made lightly.” The comic’s page editor offered it to the editorial page editor who apparently didn’t run it for logistics and layout reasons. Ha! I have written for the StarTribune in the past but I see them as cowards, now.

Across the River, the St. Paul Pioneer Press has made the same decision. I expected more from Minnesota newspapers.

I appreciate just knowing the number of papers that pulled the strip for the week. Disappointed that our paper in San Diego is among the 4.9% that opted to pull it. The editor claimed that the cartoons in the daily paper are intended for children – seriously? Thus they chose not to runt he strip.

The Riverside Press Enterprise (Riverside, CA) is not running the current Doonesbury strip. That, of course, is their choice. It is not (contrary to what some have commented) censorship. Censorship is government suppression. Private parties are entitled to choose what they publish (within obscenity and inciting limits).

That being said, what’s despicable about the Press Enterprise is that they’re not even telling anyone they aren’t running the current strip. Instead, they are running a series of older strips as if those are the current strip. I suppose the P.E. has the right to be deceitful as well as unilateral in it’s political coverage, but it is yet another reason I’m glad I stopped subscribing earlier this year after 32 years of increasingly dissatisfied loyalty.

If you are offended by the censorship of this satirization of the Texas law, download the 5-part strip from http://www.doonesbury.com/strip (easy to cut + paste) and send the series onto all your contacts. One small way to counteract the censorship.

Everyone who is offended by the censorship should download the 5-part strip from http://www.doonesbury.com/strip
(very easy to cut + paste ) and send to all their contacts.

This is one small way to combat conservative censorship

Updates again.

The Norman Transcript (OK) apparently dropped only the Wednesday and Thursday strips of the abortion series. The strip is back in Today’s paper.

Three Pennsylvania newspapers (Doylestown Intelligencer, Bucks County Courier Times and Burlington County Times) are running alternate Doonesbury strips. You had the Bucks County paper listed but not the Doylestown and Burlington papers.

OK, I looked at the Texarkana Gazette’s print editions. They are running the alternate strips all week.
