Here’s an exchange I’ve been having with my local newspaper. I started off sending this to the publisher, editor, opinion editor, and features editor:
I spent the last several days shoveling out from under a ton of snowflakes, none of them larger than whoever on your staff got her or his undies in a bunch over a barely legible message in the corner of a Non Sequitur cartoon that somehow managed to offset many years of brilliant work from Wiley Miller to the point where you are dropping his superb cartoon. Has it really come to this? Are you really that mendacious?

I used to do that a lot ‘cause my (nick)name only has 4 letters but now that I’m rapidly approaching geezerhood (some say I’m firmly ensconced there) I don’t balance so well on three legs so I had to stop.
Thanks for providing me the opportunity to see this hysterical comic strip since the newspapers have decided censorship is an appropriate way to run a comic section.
The Tampa Bay Times has joined other newspapers nationwide in pulling Wiley Miller’s comic strip Non Sequitur. [Andrews McMeel Syndication]Non Sequitur cartoon dropped by Tampa Bay Times after artist inserts hidden profane attack of Donald Trump
That is hilarious mainly because I have been doing this a lot lately. I have been sending text pictures to friends and families saying here beat this. My daughter commented that I did not dot my I. So next time I did so. It was quite the masterpiece!
I too have written my six letter name in snow using cursive script, crossing my t and dotting my i. My wife, while impressed with my creativity, made me cover my masterpiece fearing it would offend our neighbors. Unfortunately, I was not allowed to take a picture and share like Leojim. Sigh!
Why do authorities fear creative expression? Suffer thy artist, for you shall be forgiven by those who care.

I don’t know how but someone, somewhere will make this political which is a real shame since it is extremely funny on its own merits.

Today’s strip has been vetted for any hidden messages. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find one and now I’m pissed off.

Oh sure, it’s impressive when a dog does it but when I do it I get arrested.

Impressive though. When he marks his territory there is no doubt about it.
