From Wiley Miller’s Sunday Non Sequitur cartoon; the full comic can be found at the link below.
The original cartoon panel, shown here, has since been edited on Wiley Miller’s GoComics page.

On Sunday, the nationally-syndicated cartoon Non Sequitur, penned by cartoonist Wiley Miller, included an Easter Egg in its strip: a scribbled insult to President Trump that included profanity.

Butler Eagle, who owns Pittsburgh City Paper, announced Sunday it was dropping the cartoon from its Sunday comics.

“It has nothing to do with Trump,” General Manager Ron Vodenichar tells City Paper. “Butler Eagle does not publish the F word in our family publication, and it was deceitful to try to hide it the cartoon.”

City Paper, which runs its editorial department independently from Butler Eagle, prints a weekly nationally-syndicated comic of its own by liberal cartoonist Jen Sorensen.

This article appears in February 6, 2019 – Pittsburgh City Paper.

  1. not that I ever read it before, but now that they are self censoring to favor the red state perspective, they need to be put on the no longer demonstrating journalistic integrity list.

  3. So…the proper perspective is to allow that word bashing the president even though kids can see it? In a word…no. I’d say the same thing if if was said about Obama. Try again, crazygreggy.

  4. I appreciate the Butler Eagle standing up for decency and civility. Whether or not you like the President, its disrespectful and making it look like a fun page for kids to color was really deceitful.

  5. Seriously? In light of Bottom Boy’s performannce so far, this is legit…..in any state not ate up with blasphemous stupidity…..because your God isn’t listening to the dummies praying for Chump.
    He is seeing OUR revolt and backing OUR play!
    Hence, Fat Boy loses.
    Quit being all fake Religious……it just doesn’t work anymore.
    And you can blame Alt White Dummies and Religious Idiots.
    Franklin Graham and Joel Osteen will burn for their stupidity.

  6. Contrary to the ALT-LEFT MSM’s spewing NEGATIVE THINGS about the present WH and it’s inhabitant, some of us in America think that President Trump is doing a GREAT, MAGA, job compared to the last 8 year DISASTER under Owebamasswipe!!!

  7. As with so much of the ‘twisted reporting’ common today, the so-called “F” word is not profane, which refers to improper use of the Name of the Deity, but is merely a vulgarity, the use of a rude word designed to shock.

  9. Newsflash to all you Morons and Grifter Apologists: just because something is a cartoon does NOT mean it’s for kids, and just because something presents itself as a coloring page, does not mean that is it’s actually intent.
    If you Deplorables had bothered to check your facts before wasting everyone’s time, you might have discovered that “Non Sequitur” is NOT a
    children soldering corner, it’s a social and political commentary and satire cartoon.
    And yes, I’m looking at you Angela and Ginny and “Notachance”.
    And kids who are old enough to read, and smart enough to catch the wording, are fully capable of not imploding upon stumbling upon a naughty word.
