A newspaper has dropped a syndicated cartoon after finding an insult aimed at President Donald Trump tucked in a corner of the strip.

On Sunday, Pennsylvania’s Butler Eagle included the comic strip “Non Sequitur” drawn by Wiley Miller as it always does. However, this particular cartoon, featuring a “Bearaissance” character named Leonardo Bear Vinci, had a message scribbled in the lower-right-hand corner reading, “We fondly say go fuck yourself to Trump.”

I still have a hard time making out the "...ly say" and "...f to" parts of the purported message, but the rest is pretty clear.

itself. Sadly, I don't have time to stare at it for long stretches to figure it out. The message to trump is more obvious.
