CENSORED IN EUGENE
Last week Doonesbury had a six strip sequence on the new Texas sonogram law.
Needless to say this strip wasn't published in Eugene, not even on the editorial pages. Wouldn't have even known about it if some of the locals hadn't sent letters to the editor about the censorship. Granted a couple of them are pretty strong, but that seems to be the only thing that gets through these days.
There were six panels starting on March 12, the other five can be found here. Just click on each day starting with the 13th and ending on the 17th. Color me PO'd not because Trudeau drew the strips but because my local paper didn't have the guts to print them, even on the back page of the classified section.

When did the Register Guard quit the ranks of Liberal Media conspirators? I didn't think anything was too left wing for Eugene. The times they are a-changing, evidently...
I don't know. But, if a couple of people hadn't sent in letters we wouldn't have even known about it. We don't get the Oregonian during the week so I don't know if it was carried up north or not. Granted a couple of the panels were pretty strong. Especially when they handed her the bill for the procedure.
I've been following these on Reader Supported News online. We don't get the Albuquerque Journal, and I don't know if the paper carried these or not. I need to find out. They are nothing short of brilliant, IMHO - skewering the GOP insanity perfectly.
