Doonesbury to be dropped for being "too controversial"

The Continental Features comics syndicate has announced that it will be dropping Doonesbury because the strip is “too controversial” (lately, Trudeau has been using the strip to criticise the Iraq War and Fox News).

The Continental head said he doesn’t know exactly when “Doonesbury” will leave the package; he’s currently polling clients to see if they want to replace it with “Agnes,” “Get Fuzzy,” “Pickles,” “Zits,” or another comic.

Update: Phil Gyford sez, “Some time ago I knocked up an RSS feed that links to the latest Doonesbury strips (unlike the RSS feed that used to display the actual strips and was told to quit by Ucomics).”
