D.C. residents have to put up with a lot, from security concerns to WMATA issues, but one perk of living here is that our hometown paper (the Post) has one of the best comics sections in the country. We get a full three pages, while that other paper in that other city doesn’t even have one.
Imagine our surprise then, when we caught whiff of a comics controversy going down. We were on humor columnist Gene Weingarten’s online chat (we know, we should’ve been working) when he alerted us to the fact that the paper had decided not to print an entire weeks worth of the popular strip Boondocks. The Post website simply sites “content issues”.
Weingarten asks “What possible content could these Boondocks strips have had to warrant such a reaction by The Washington Post?”
Color us equally confused.
