Steve dresses down Lola in the comic strip censored by newspapers across the country.
By Berkeley Breathed [2007-09-02]

  • Censorship

    Yes we have censorship in the US - and since it is not done by the government, but by the varies newspapers, we don't think we are as bad as China - but sometimes, it means we actually have less access to news, with the illusion we have complete access to the information.

    So some newspapers didn't show this strip or the last one - they were conservative rags, that don't give a damn about Muslim feelings, they are among the newspapers that have the attitude that is closer to "bomb them all , and let god sort it out" types.

    The newspapers have also censored this strip before - remember when he did a whole series on abortion? Tons of newspapers didn't carry that - and tons of folks wrote in to complain - even my local middle of the road paper didn't carry it, they instead put a letter of apology in the spot, and a website you could go to if you really needed to read the terrible comic.
