4. Almost, could be said, more truth in that one Sunday comic strip than

all the coverage of the pResident in the "mainstream" press over the past 8 years.

3. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

at the top of his imperialist centurian helmet anymore!

I just noticed that. Hee, hee.

5. You're right

The fancy brush at the top is all gone. One day he's going to just put this in place of a new strip:

16. It's been traditional for years for cartoonists to provide

two opening panels that can be cut by editors for space/format reasons (horizontal or vertical printing). (Whether this is a good idea or not is debated). If the Trib usually does this for Doonesbury, then it is not really a case of censorship, but simply their paper's standard layout choice. If they DON'T usually do it, but did it for just this week, then they probably deliberately censored it.

18. I knew there seemed to be alternate layouts available (some of >

> my favorites seem to even be available in strip or single panel). I didn't realize individual papers could just delete panels. I'm also a little surprised that artists at Trudeau's level would allow it.

20. Of course he would.

Trudeau's a veteran cartoonist. He knows this is what's done in the business, he's been going along with it from the beginning, and he's not going to make a fuss about it now.

21. The first two panels of a Sunday strip are always a "throw away" gag

Trudeau's always gone along with it. Bill Watterson (Calvin & Hobbes), on the other hand, refused. That was one of the many points of disagreement he had with the syndicate. I don't remember the details (he describes it in one of the anthologies), but they had some compromise where papers could choose to run the whole thing full size or a shrunken version of the whole thing.

17. There is something really enjoyable about transparency.

19. Ironically, considering how the Dems have been cowering over the last week,

Bush and Co. seem to be doing just fine without him.
