Woke papers have been cancelling Beetle Bailey.

It's militaristic, sexist, violent, blah, blah, blah...

Jamaal and Herb be attesting to the fact those white supremacists at Beetle Bailey have been twisting up the brain of the minority cartoonist for 400 years.

Pretty much all of the above - the favorite line came from Pogo:

“We have met the enemy and he is us!”

GoComics.com still has a lot of those. Most are current, but some are reruns


Gary Larson's stuff is on thefarside.com and he still does an occasional original


Dilbert is at dilbert.com - still original & timely

I used to read family circus every time and wondered why it was even published. But I had to check it like a car crash. I guess I was hoping someday I might chortle at least. Never happened.

It was a goody good comic for sure, centered on American normalcy, good stuff.
