Newspapers yank Doonesbury strip
It's OK to portray the president as a wimp, a waffle or a reckless Roman emperor. But if you're "Doonesbury' creator Garry Trudeau and you mention the 'M' word -- as in masturbation -- editors will pull your strip. ... This is not the first time newspapers have refused to run 'Doonesbury.' Just before the 2000 presidential election, at least two newspapers pulled an installment that accused George W. Bush of cocaine abuse. In February 1998, at least four newspapers refused to run 'Doonesbury' strips about accusations that President Clinton had sex with a White House intern.

1. It's for the children, you know.
Everything for the children except for stuff that costs money.

5. It's not up yet on Doonesbury.com
They still have the one with Zonker and his mother both running for Governor of California.

It will be at http://www.Doonesbury.com tomorrow, I'm sure.
