A segment from the Editor of the Oregonian's Editor

Changes to the comics, another place where commentary regularly appears, rekindled readers’ dislikes of certain strips.



“Doonesbury,” which has long published on Sundays, returned to daily publication. And the choice of the 40 most-popular strips for Sundays meant “Mallard Fillmore” once again appeared in The Oregonian.



I’ve heard from critics of both strips.



“Please admit at least to yourself that 'Doonesbury' is addicted to focusing on any perceived flaws in Donald Trump or his policies,” a reader wrote. “Please send his work to the trash bin and stop insulting the truth and the beliefs of half of your subscribers.”

My remedy for these readers that complain about parts of a newspaper that are a daily occurrence, don't read them if you don't like them. I have a tv. I have a remote. If I don't like a certain show, BOOM, they are disappeared. If you continue reading or watching it is on you. Quit telling the producers what others may enjoy. Grow up.
