1. FYI

"Doonesbury takes on the issue of the Texas Republican's bill to force transvaginal exams on women considering abortion."

"This of course has caused a number of the more conservative papers to ban the strip, or move it to their op-ed pages."

5. I'm hoping that some papers reverse their decision

but that would be admitting that they were wrong in the first place.

117 comments on the Oregonian site, most of them negative. Their poll is running 96% against their decision to pull:

6. I'm OK with a move to the editorial page.

My recollection is that some papers have always run Trudeau on the editorial page, seeing his work as more akin to political cartoons than to recycled "Classic Peanuts" or the like.

Pulling it entirely is wrong. I completely agree with you there.
