If there were any complaints, why aren\\\’t they in the comments section? Are we being protected there also? Maybe one of them said a bad word. Is anyone else having trouble with the security code?

I’m starting to wonder if the RRStar actually ever got any complaints.

You know, the cherubs are not Jeremy\\\’s parents they are Jeremy and his girlfriend. I can see you put a lot of thought into this decision and clearly this is one of your favorite comics since you know all of the characters so well. Really pathetic in more ways than one Linda. Get a backbone and some reading glasses …

I can’t believe that anyone was offended by the Zits comics from Friday and Saturday. First of all, Jeremy’s parents weren’t naked, and even though Jeremy and his girlfriend were, absolutely nothing showed. Second, it’s a CARTOON for pete’s sake! If people actually complained about it, I, too, am embarrassed that the local newspaper pulled the comic. If I don’t want to read something, I have the choice not to. And, actually, it isn’t silly; it’s serious: it’s censorship and someone telling me that they know what’s “best” for me–how patronizing. I hope in the future you will think twice about pulling a comic strip for such ridiculous reasons.

Linda, I agree with you when you say it seems silly getting nuts over a comic strip at time when we should be focusing on the problems in our community and our country. But I was upset with YOUR decision to not run the strip until the characters were dressed again. It reminded me of the time when a local TV station refused to air NYPD Blue for similar reasons. Get over yourself and stop showing your age. I would bet that you got more response from upset bloggers than you did from upset comic readers who were shocked by the “nudity” that offended you.

Please start reporting all the new. Not just what you want us to read. There are a lot of good things going on all over the world and all we get from you is the bad new. Then you pull a harmless comic strip because of cartoon nudity that doesn\’t show anything!! Shame on all of you.

You say you love the Zits comics…why not fight for what you love. I wish I had the power to pull things out of the paper that I didn\’t like…like the opinion column, new statistics on unemployment, another American Solider died, or reviews of the new Lady Gaga CD. So really if enough of us complain about something in the paper you will pull it? We should look into this. Every Saturday during high school football I was offended by the fact that Boylan slaughtered another team but the picture you print is of the opposing team running with the ball. Makes NO sense to me. I\’m offended by the fact that Peanuts is still running the same stupid comics EVEN after the creator has passed. I\’m offended that Rose is Rose will abandon her family to go sit in her angry cell or whatever it is. I\’m offended that Family Circle is in the paper every day and it is the dumbest comic ever! \"Billy tracked mud in the house\" OH MY GOSH HILARIOUS! Whatever happened to \"If you don\’t like it, don\’t look at it\"? Seriously RRStar…grow a pair!

Linda, I’m completely embarrassed for and of you. The idea that a comic strip would be pulled due to lack of clothing is ridiculous. I’ve seen the strips and I’m more offended by your attempt to protect ME from something others find offensive. Your sense of self importance is infuriating. You need to focus on important issues in this community and it sure as H*** is not what a cartoonist is doing or not doing. Crime in this city is a joke, school are unsafe, unemployment is rampant, local politicians are completely unaccountable and the daily paper spends the time and energy to jump on a soap box and proclaim how their moral compass has saved us citizens, yet again, from brain melting obscenities. Again I am embarrassed of and for the RRStar and its staff. I believe the letter sent back to you from the Comics Editor Burford was polite and sincere but I also feel it was writing with a roll of the eyes and disbelief that someone would or could be so shallow as to be offended by the Zits strip. Just when I feel the RRStar could not be more ridiculous, you always prove me wrong.
