Boondocks was not my cup of tea, but I don't think it belonged on the editorial page as much as, say, Millard Fillmore. (hmmm...maybe because Mallard Fillmore isn't really funny). Doonesbury is political, but it is kind of funny. I'm not bashing your statement, I'm just asking what you mean by it. What strips are you talking about? Why do you think editors would purposely lose touch? What cartoonists are espousing their political views? (Boondocks, Doonesbury and Mallard Fillmore don't really count since thats the premise of the strip) Are you upset because you don't agree with the views, because with the exception of Mallard Fillmore, they are funny AT LEAST some of the time.
