No Doonesbury?
So the Durham Herald-Sun was one of all of 10 newspapers in the country to pull Doonesbury last week because B.D., realizing he'd had a leg amputated, yelled "Son of a bitch!"? Uh, dude, I think that's about the mildest thing I can imagine saying in that situation."Because of a vulgarity in the cartoon, Doonesbury will not appear today. The strip will resume Saturday. Today's strip dealt with the continuing recuperation of the character B.D. after suffering a combat wound in Iraq."Uh, I think that was actually pretty mild - my reaction would likely be more along the lines of "Motherfucker!?!?!?" or "Just fucking shoot me!" so I thought Trudeau was actually pretty restrained. Given the paper's lack of balls in covering the war, I shouldn't be too surprised.
