Republicans still not happy; putting even more people out of work

A group of monkey-like, newly-exclusive bipeds took some time out from watching CSI: Miami (see Bob's reference below) to vote in a poll run by Continental Features on whether or not to drop Doonesbury. It wasn't an "overwhelming" vote to drop Doonesbury says Continental Features President Van Wilkerson, but it was "a majority opinion". 38 Continental-produced papers will no longer carry Doonesbury as a result.

The reason for the vote was because Doonsbury created more "controversy" than other comics that Continental carried.

They are currently polling clients to find out if they want to replace it with "Agnes", "Get Fuzzy", "Pickles", "Zits", or something else that is almost, but not quite, as edgy as "The Family Circus".
