Update

Reed Brennan is alerting its clients to the Wednesday June 13 Six Chix panel:

King Features Syndicate has issued a correction for Six Chix panels and strips in black and white and color for 6/13.
Due to the death of Anthony Bourdain, an updated version of this comic has been supplied.

The original panel had mentioned Anthony Bourdain.

Original June 9 post:

Speaking of Judge Parker, as we were elsewhere today, the strip’s writer, Francesco Marciuliano, felt the need to explain about today’s Judge Parker. This past week saw a couple of celebrity suicides and coincidentally the June 9 Judge Parker comic strip mentioned a celebrity death.

Many of you who read newspaper comics know that strips are written months in advance. Well, at the very least weeks in advance. But I completely understand why this is not common knowledge. And I bring this up to stress that because of such publication deadlines today’s Judge Parker is in no way a reaction to the utterly tragic, untimely deaths of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain this week.

The full statement can be read at Ces’ website.
