This Friday’s Non Sequitur to be swapped out in International Herald Tribune (UPDATE)
Skip to commentsThe International Herald Tribune (IHT) wants to substitute this Friday’s Non Sequtuir according to E&P. The cartoon in question pokes fun of Ann Coulter who is wearing a burqa after getting everything she’s ever wished for (the non-existence of liberals being one of those things).
Universal Press has given them a strip from a year ago to run in it’s stead.
UPDATE: Dave Astor has posted an update to the story over on E&P’s site. Included in the update is a response from Wiley Miller
In response to Burtt’s statement, “Non Sequitur” creator Wiley Miller said in a Wedneday e-mail: “It’s the right, even obligation, of every editor to run or censor anything they deem appropriate for their newspaper, no matter how vague the rationale might be.”
But he added: “Under the reasoning they’ve stated, every cartoon could be deemed inappropriate… . So I think they’ve been less than forthcoming on the real reason they’re afraid to run this rather mild satire. But that’s their right.”
