yup lets not support schools and keep kids stupid.

Actually I'm okay with this because it will mean I can sell a lot of stupid, cheap crap to a lot of stupid people for lots of money.

They all need a big Mike Royko cawk punch over there.

kronicfeld: Eh, I can understand the paper not wanting them advertising, even if they're advertising a non-profit.

Basically they are paying him so he can advertise something. Yeah, I can see them not liking that, but they could have just gave him a warning.

You know you're old if you remember when Doonsebury was a good comic strip.

kronicfeld: Yes, they're so horribly right-wing that they run Doonesbury in the first place.

Do they run it on the op-ed page or the comics page?

The comics page...next to Prickly City just for "balance." You know, balanced in the Fox News fair and balanced way.

I thought this was over. I found the series last week to be funny with the addition of the QR Code.

The trib is pretty anti teacher, so this is not surprising.

The Tribune has high standards of accuracy and professionalism to maintain:

That's okay, they've got a whole new generation of suck to replace it with.



Die, Lalo. Die screaming, buring, and penless. You talentless fark.

The Trib is not your personal army

Confabulat: Funky Winkerbean set up its own breast cancer charity, if I remember right. Lisa's fund or something like that. The storyline went on for like years. Wonder if the Trib pulled those strips.

The Tribune never carried Funky Winkerbean.

Since Doonesbury runs on its own website, the strip which includes the URL is constantly promoting the author's self-interest. Because readers can find any strip that a paper refuses to run, newspaper publishers accomplish nothing but a revelation of their own interests.

My niece teaches, and a grant from Donor's Choice help off-set the cost of her class room bunny. Sure, she's still paying most of the cost out-of-pocket (the housing, feeders, and the bunny), but kind donor sent her enough money to feed the bunny for the rest of the year. One of the girls in her class has Asperger's syndrome. The previous year, this little girl used to go into a corner of the classroom and just curl into a little ball. But, when my niece brought the bunny into the class room, the little girl ran up to my niece, looked her in the eye and said, "Please, can I take care of the bunny some weekend?" The girl is interacting better, and her parents say she's much more lively when ever the bunny comes to visit.

What comics are featured on the Tribunes Funnies Page?

Because People in power are Stupid: Technically it wasn't his self interest but rather a public interest -so there's that.

Especially the "administrative overhead".

Just another example of the rampant conservative media bias present in today's lamestream mainstream MSM media.

Charity? *gasp* The NERVE of some people!

And it doesn't run on the editorial page anyway.

Aren't editorials basically nothing but promotion of your self-interests?

Was that before or after the incest storyline?

The incest story line was on Cathy, wasn't it?

They are simply pissed that a charity might get free advertising, instead of paying off the paper to be able to promote their charity.

Personally, I'd rather he make with the funny, but pulling it seems a bit much.

I have read the Trib nearly every morning for 25 years. When my current subscription runs out, I will probably not renew it.

Doonesbury runs right next to a strip called "Prickly City," which offers nothing but tortured, semi-comprehensible right-wing derp every single day. It has NEVER been pulled. Not once.

Doonesbury gets pulled frequently. And don't get me started with the derp-fest that masquerades as an Op-Ed spread. There's only so much Jonah Goldberg a man can take, for fark's sake.

It's truly sad to see what has become of that paper in recent years. But... predictable.

I approve of not supporting ads in non-ad areas. I usually buy offbrand products for that very reason (or it's just cheaper in any case).

Wasilla Hillbilly: Personally, I'd rather he make with the funny, but pulling it seems a bit much.

Meh, it was one day's strip that was pretty much nothing but an ad.

It's not really any better at the Los Angeles Times, which is owned by the Tribune. We get the Doughy Pantload on the editorial pages along while such scum as Max "Go fight wars while I sit home and cheer you on" Boot get Op-Ed space too. The Times is a shell of its former self, it's really sad.

Damn you Chandler's for selling, damn. you.

As a former teacher, I think Donorschoose.org is a worthwhile organization to which to contribute.

Chicago Tribune finally realizes that Doonesbury comic strip has political undertones
