INAPPROPRIATE AND OFFENSIVE NAKEDNESS

Nakedness in comic strips offensive

to subscribers

November 13, 2009

"Zits" is one of our favorite comic strips. However, we find two recent comic strips depicting nudity to be inappropriate and offensive to your subscribers, and suggest your editorial staff get to work monitoring such comic strip authors by not accepting this sort of deviation from enjoyable and proper comics.

The authors should be penalized for submitting such inappropriate and offensive material in the future by a substantial monetary withholding.

I've done a handful of "Love Is" parody strips. Here are two from the hellish archives of "Frog Applause":

Hard to get too worked up over nudity

in comic strip

November 23, 2009

The word "prude" comes to mind after reading the Nov. 13 letter from Ted Trump in which he takes umbrage with both the authors of the comic strip "Zits" and your editorial staff because he finds your publication of "two recent comic strips depicting nudity" to be "inappropriate and offensive to your subscribers."

The cartoon in question shows "Zits" character Jeremy and his lady friend in the nude, depicting them as innocent asexual little toddlers.

I would be interested in Mr. Trump's views on that disgusting (?) ad for Charmin in which a young bear is shown running around with hunks of toilet paper stuck to his butt, or his views about that uncouth little transvestite who wears no pants or undergarments and, were he a male, would be Donald Drake, not Donald Duck.
