Post censors comics again; punning headline writers despair

Gene Weingarten's July 8th chat reveals that the Post once again censored the comics section, this time Breathed's Opus. Weingarten wrote:

And lastly, HERE is Sunday's Opus. No, that's not the one you saw in The Post, which ran a sub. I believe the editors perceived a racial-ethnic insensitivity.

Bad decision. Nothing wrong with that comic. I really liked the real-world "available now" labeling.


A click on the 'censorship' label below will pull up the other examples for you.

  1. Looks OK to me. Maybe it was just indecent to have characters dropping their pants?

  2. I can rarely figure out the Post's decision to suppress a comic strip - fortunately I think, but it does leave me wondering.
