His title is actually public editor and, in the Tribune's classic paternalistic manner, his columns mostly fill a "Let Uncle Tribune explain it all to you" function. He's more like the paper's line to the readers than the other way around.... You’re giving Don Wycliff too much credit in calling him the Tribune’s ombudsman.

The purported reason for not showing the strip was inaccuracy, not its inappropriateness for children. With tapes recently released suggesting that the President smoked marijuana, Aaron McGruder can't comment on other possible drug use? In a comic strip? Because it's "inaccurate?" That's just bizarre.

Yes, I know that would be a trivial reason to cancel a subscription, but, they were trivial first!! do your part to protect the First Amendment –

I understand their logic: on the comics page, it'll offend many parents. Move Boondocks to where it belongs: on the editorials page. I read the comic.

Move Boondocks to where it belongs: on the editorials page.
