Letters to the Editor

Going after the editors is one thing
Don't we want editors to be responsible for editorial content? Why in the world would we want corporations to dictate what gets published and what doesn't?
In this case, the editors have a responsibility to be responsive in some way or another to their customers -- otherwise, the customers can and will walk away. That's our prerogative, and that's our power.
Leaning on advertisers is a hallmark of knee-jerk conservatism. I expect better from progressives.

Tune in Next Week
Next Week's "Adventure"
Joe: Kansas, did you ever hear of the Danvers Lunatic Asylym?
Kansas: The what? You mean the Asylum?
Joe: That's what I said, the asylim.
Kansas: There, you did it again. Only different this time.
Joe: Different what? What are you talking about?
Kansas: You keep misspelling "Asylum."
Joe: I'm not spelling it at all, I'm just saying, "Have you ever heard of the Danvers Lunatic Assylum?
Kansas: There! You did it again?
Joe: What are you talking about? Words are only how you pronounce them. They don't have a spelling.
Kansas reaches up and grabs a word balloon.
Kansas: Look, it's right here. Asylym. You spelled it wrong!
Danvers enters, dressed in a space suit, and wielding a ray gun.
Danvers: Drop the balloon, O'Flaherty. You're coming with me to my base on the moon.

"Leaning on advertisers is a hallmark of knee-jerk conservatism. I expect better from progressives."
Silly me, I thought being able to make your voice heard was a hallmark of being an American.
Silencing protected expressions of dissent is a hallmark of knee-jerk conservatism.
You should expect better from yourself.
The way the customers are being treated over this travesty of a comic strip is indicative of how they're being treated by the site as a whole. Advertisers have a right to know if they're money is not being spent well. Telling them works for me.

Suggestion
Fire Toni Schlesinger (if she really writes this wretched mess; I suspect it's actually a drunken intern) and hire Tideswimmer.
