The OverDrone

I guess yesterday’s navel on Jeremy got me discombobulated.

From the Rockford Register Star Editor’s Note “I just pulled my favorite comic strip, Zits. And, it’ll stay pulled
until creators Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman put some clothes back on
Jeremy’s parents. …

Unfortunately, the Friday strip was printed in GO before I saw the
Thursday one.

Don’t look if comic strip nudity offends you. And on
Saturday, it’s gone and the comi cs pages are safe again from
middle-aged, saggy cherubs.”

Next post:

“Sometimes I just love a tempest in a teapot. Takes my mind off the serious issues I deal with everyday. Occasionally it’s fun to get all pseudo-excited about not much. So, when Jeremy’s parents took their clothes off in the Zits strip, well, I pulled it, sent nasty-grams to the syndicate and cartoonists.

Zits is back on Sunday.

OK, yes, I was sorta serious. Some of our readers were just nuts over naked cartoon characters and didn’t “get it” that the strip was riffing off the fat cherubs of “Love Is…” fame. But, really, as I told the syndicate rep, I just don’t have time for dumb stuff. Put the clothes back on.”

From King Features response: “To my knowledge, out of the 1,600+ newspapers that ZITS appears in, your readers are the only ones who have had such a problem with the depiction.”

She still thinks it is Jeremy’s parents. lmao

On the other hand I have to live here. cmao …
