After far too long an absence, Berke Breathed and Opus the Penguin are coming back to the comics pages. By the way, in case your paper (like mine) was too chickenshit to run Sunday's Doonesbury, here it is. (Much more about the Doonesbury flap, via Romenesko.)

the post was too chickenshit to run that??? I don't even know where to begin. pornographic descriptions of warefare = okay. pictures of dead bodies = okay. medical reporting about prostate cancer = okay. reporting on molestation etc = okay. So what gives? Is it because the cartoon doesn't assign a value judgment to sex here, is that why its not okay? (i.e., that it assumes a value judgment which might not be acceptable?). It IS the lies that cause the cancer after all.
