Obsolete Doonesbury Strips Are Run

Editor and Publisher notes that while Garry Trudeau may recall Doonesbury strips made obsolete by a development in the news, sometimes they don't get recalled, particularly on Sunday. CR reader Sean Collins wrote in to note that some readers noticed the oddness of the Harriet Miers strips when they appeared.

While we're catching up with old stories, the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists has tracked the development of the David Simpson firing the Tulsa World story, including their own involvement; Slate's Mickey Kaus has placed into context the firing of LA Times staff editorial cartoonist Michael Ramirez, which he and a growing number of people see as the Tribune Company's rumored directive to make the paper as bland as possible, the core of a long and ongoing dispute in years between camps at the Times since the paper was purchased.
