This certainly isn’t the most pressing issue facing the nation, but it would really be nice to read the comics uncensored. The “funnies” consist of a few pages for amusement in a thick publication full of facts.
Now I can’t actually speak for other people, but personally I don’t refer to “Prickly City,” “The Boondocks” or “Doonesbury” to form my political views any more than I consult “Brewster Rockit: Space Guy!” for science tips.
It would be flattering if the Tribune editors just assumed that its readers actually read the rest of the paper and had the intellect to discern the difference between real news and the comic strips.
I know you’ve attempted to explain this silliness before, but I still have to ask why a world-class publication like the Chicago Tribune has morphed into Big Mommy protecting us from a joke.
Newspaper readers are not dumb as stumps, so quit insulting our intelligence–pretty please!
