How can we get the comic strip writer's e-mail address ? We should bombard him with e-mails to set his *** straight (pun intended).

Let's get a petition started! Get Baldo out of your newspapers. We can form a PAC and start collecting donations.

edit:"Not that there's anything wrong with that..."

I mailed in my complaint.

Pretty stupid to run that strip after the Ann Coulter/John Edwards fiaco.

It's a little weak, but as they say "There's no such thing as bad press"

It looks like their going to be in San Diego soon. Maybe I'll put on my MINI shirt and my best scowl.

Or maybe we should show them the list of big men in small really nice cars.

If you e-mail him, make sure you reference the March 2 date, when the strip ran.

We want to make sure he's not confused about the focus of our displeasure.

As a comics connoisseur, I can assure you that

Baldo = always dumb, never funny.

...much like Zippy, or Mallard Fillmore.

It's never even just trite and boring, like Blondie. Always annoyingly dumb and unfunny.

I'm hooked on Zippy the Pinhead, even though half the time I dont get it.

As for this Baldo strip, what's actually being said? Everyone is jumping to the same conclusion though. The strip's creator is not one that would ordinarily poke at any particular minorities, especially what the insinuation is that is going on here. It would be like finding a slur in "For Better Or For Worse".

*shrug* Seems like the strip is vague enough to allow more than one interpretation of what was said. So I'll go with SB's interpretation.

Well he'll certainly be able to fill in the blank if he starts getting e-mails from thin-skinned crybabies!

Are you trying to say he's not making a negative insunuation in that strip ? I think the "even if they're blue" line makes it very clear since blue is considered to be THE masculine color.
