Yeah, it’s all part of that _evil liberal media conspiracy._ :rolleyes:

Or it could be the simple fact that conservative cartoonists just aren’t funny, with wits like **B.C.** and **Mallard Filmore** as representatives.

> As for Trudeau and Doonesbury…I ignore that comic now. I had to start doing that after my eyes began cramping up from all that involuntary rolling they were doing when exposed to Trudeau’s leftist drivel.

Stick to _Fox News,_ with its guaranteed 100% unquestioning patriotic jingoism in every broadcast.

And I will readily admit that I think **Doonesbury** is past its prime; comparing the stuff he was doing back in the Nixon and Carter eras with today’s strips is like comparing _M_A_S_H\* and the forgettable sequel, _AfterM_A_S_H.\*

IMO, the only truly biting political comic strip in the paper these days is **The Boondocks,** and I’m sure you’ll dismiss that as “leftist drivel” too (“It’s so unrealistic! Who’s going to believe that a bunch of black kids could live in the suburbs without destroying the place?!”).
