After Calvin & Hobbes and Bloom County, Wiley Miller's Non Sequitur is one of my favorite cartoon strips. While I don't always agree with it, it is the best political strip going. (I vaguely remember there was this 'Doonesbury' strip... but it quit being funny around, oh, January 1981. -ed.) (UPDATE: I meant 'the best' in terms of syndicated, dead-tree cartoons. The best damn political cartoon around today is Day-by-Day, which is over there to the right on the sidebar. Apologies for any misunderstanding, Chris. -ed.)
Last week, Non Sequitur tested whether all that standing up for free speech talk over the years by The Washington Post and others in the Fourth Estate, is real. It isn't. Well, not when it could put them (literally) in the crosshairs.
Here is the strip these supposed defenders of the First Amendment apparently pulled last week. One guess why they pulled it.
If Wiley had done a strip with 'Where's Jesus?', or 'Where's Buddha?', or 'Where's Moses?', do you think they would have pulled that one as well? Me either.
