Non Sequitur reinstated at Beloit Daily News
Skip to commentsWilliam Barth, the editor of the Beloit Daily News has announced that Wiley Miller’s Non Sequitur has been returned to their comic line-up citing overwhelming support for the comic not just from Beloit residence, but from national attention they received.
After printing a few comments they received – including one from Tom Racine of Comics Coast to Coast podcast, and a mention of Pab Sungenis’ The New Adventures Of Queen Victoria comic that poked fun of the Daily News for its actions – the editor defended the decision to temporarily pull Non Sequitur.
The Daily News garnered a bit of national publicity over the chicken affair, though not necessarily the kind we’d want. There’s a big difference, of course, between suspending a feature and canceling it. Non Sequitur, like other features that run in the newspaper, are there by invitation. That invitation can be withdrawn at any time, for any reason. That’s not censorship. That’s business.
…
It was our intent to send a message and make sure Mr. Miller and the syndicate from which we purchase Non Sequitur understood that some folks in Beloit, Wisconsin, felt attacked. We hope the message was received.
Wiley’s feature begins again next week.
