		<description>I understand people getting heated about comics being removed. Comics become part of your daily routine, and having worked for a newspaper in the past I&#039;ve seen some of the apparently arbitrary decisions about how or why to remove a strip. It&#039;s like your favorite TV show being cancelled -- except only by your local TV station. But people need to learn to offer constructive solutions. 

One thing I think is interesting as you watch the evolution of the comics page ... in visiting my brother&#039;s family in Knoxville, TN, the Knoxville News-Sentinel actually runs two comics pages -- one with &quot;family friendly&quot; comics (ie. Family Circus), another with the &quot;controversial&quot; comics (ie. Doonesbury). Interesting.</description>

		<description>[...] As one would expect the discussion quickly became heated about which features were liked or disliked. Brian Anderson, whose Dog Eat Doug is one of the four comics on trial, took the high road when asked how he felt about some of the uglier comments on the board.  As far as some of the harsher comments, well, that just comes with the territory in the entertainment world. If I donâ€™t like a particular strip or TV show or movie for that matter, I just donâ€™t read/watch it. That simple. I recognize that it might not be for me but a lot of other people probably do enjoy it. I absolutely love â€œLostâ€ but Iâ€™ve never watched CSI (I think thereâ€™s seven right?). That doesnâ€™t make CSI stupid. Itâ€™s just not for me. Calling it stupid would imply that those that watch it are too dumb to realize itâ€™s stupid. Just doesnâ€™t work logicaly. [...]</description>

		<description>Hey, Brian. My strip (Watch Your Head) is also on trial at the St. Pete Times and is also being subjected to the message board massacre. Just wanted to commiserate.

I wish I had your composure and could stay out of the mix. You&#039;ve probably been at this longer than I have. I&#039;m not used to un-constructive criticism.

Good luck with DeD in St. Pete and eslewhere.</description>

Comics become part of your daily routine, and having worked for a newspaper in the past I&#039;ve seen some of the apparently arbitrary decisions about how or why to remove a strip.

One thing I think is interesting as you watch the evolution of the comics page ... in visiting my brother&#039;s family in Knoxville, TN, the Knoxville News-Sentinel actually runs two comics pages -- one with &quot;family friendly&quot; comics (ie. Family Circus), another with the &quot;controversial&quot; comics (ie. Doonesbury). Interesting.</description>

		<description>[...] As one would expect the discussion quickly became heated about which features were liked or disliked. Brian Anderson, whose Dog Eat Doug is one of the four comics on trial, took the high road when asked how he felt about some of the uglier comments on the board.  As far as some of the harsher comments, well, that just comes with the territory in the entertainment world. If I donâ€™t like a particular strip or TV show or movie for that matter, I just donâ€™t read/watch it. That simple. I recognize that it might not be for me but a lot of other people probably do enjoy it. I absolutely love â€œLostâ€ but Iâ€™ve never watched CSI (I think thereâ€™s seven right?). That doesnâ€™t make CSI stupid. Itâ€™s just not for me. Calling it stupid would imply that those that watch it are too dumb to realize itâ€™s stupid. Just doesnâ€™t work logicaly. [...]</description>

		<description>Hey, Brian. My strip (Watch Your Head) is also on trial at the St. Pete Times and is also being subjected to the message board massacre. Just wanted to commiserate.

I wish I had your composure and could stay out of the mix. You&#039;ve probably been at this longer than I have. I&#039;m not used to un-constructive criticism.

Good luck with DeD in St. Pete and eslewhere.</description>

		<description>I understand people getting heated about comics being removed. Comics become part of your daily routine, and having worked for a newspaper in the past I&#039;ve seen some of the apparently arbitrary decisions about how or why to remove a strip. It&#039;s like your favorite TV show being cancelled -- except only by your local TV station. But people need to learn to offer constructive solutions. 

One thing I think is interesting as you watch the evolution of the comics page ... in visiting my brother&#039;s family in Knoxville, TN, the Knoxville News-Sentinel actually runs two comics pages -- one with &quot;family friendly&quot; comics (ie. Family Circus), another with the &quot;controversial&quot; comics (ie. Doonesbury). Interesting.</description>

		<description>&gt;&gt;Calling it stupid would imply that those that watch it are too dumb to realize itâ€™s stupid.&gt;&gt;

(laughs) No, what&#039;s stupid is people who get their panties in THAT tight of a wad over the potential loss of a COMIC STRIP!! 

GOD! Florida gets more frightening by the day.</description>
