Jordan Smith writes: “This past week the comic strip syndicate Andrews McNeel pulled five strips of creator Stephan Pastis’s Pearls Before Swine comic, effectively removing it from 850 newspapers nationwide. A set of five replacement strips, also by Pastis, were run in their place. The strips were pulled because they dealt with a coup at the capital and would have appeared shortly after the attempted coup at our own Capitol Building. It may seem like censorship at first but, it is, in fact, an example of editorial discretion.”
