Post Syndicate kills single Barney & Clyde strip; Weingarten discussing live now
The chat is here: https://live.washingtonpost.com/gene-weingarten-20180320.html
By the end of the chat, I felt the most significant piece to come out was that Horace LaBadie actually wrote the offending strip. I know Gene has talked about having writing help, but the last I recall was his son. However, LaBadie is credited on the Syndicate's webpage for the strip at https://www.washingtonpost.com/syndication/comics/barney-clyde/
