2.) When you leave a comment on a post that is more than 4-5 days old, please put a note in the comment about what post you are commenting on. Today someone posted about the Flint Journal pulling Doonesbury back in 1995 or 1996. They wanted to know the reason. I posted the comment, but it had to be from a post two or three weeks or more old because I couldn't find it.
I remember some controversy back in the 1990s over Doonesbury's rather tough treatment of Bob Dole and his war record during the 96 campaign and also the use of a sexually explicit term in relation to a situation about then President Bill Clinton. If the cartoon was pulled in 95 or 96 it could not have been related to Bill Clinton's situation.
If anyone remembers why the Flint Journal pulled Doonesbury, please feel free to respond.

Oh my this is good information. I always thought the comments showed up with the post!!! Or referenced it at least. This is from Help me on the comments.
The comment was left on a Sept 2008 post: http://freefromeditors.blogspot.com/2008/09/doonesbury-takes-buyout.html
Around Summer/Fall 2000, the San Antonio Express-News pulled an edition of Doonesbury because the cartoon depicted the spoof of George W. Bush as using cocaine (something he has never confirmed nor denied). Gary Trudeau wrote a letter explaining himself and why he felt the E-N shouldn't have refused to publish it.
