From Editor and Publisher

Last week, many newspapers in the U.S. declined to run a Doonesbury strip that mentioned masturbation. According to this article, those that did run it received almost no complaints.

Also: According to this piece, a great many newspapers buried or did not run the recent admission by George W. Bush that there is no evidence that Iraq was directly involved in the 9/11 attacks. This kind of "coverage" goes a long way to expain why so much of America thinks Hussein was connected to those awful deeds.

More on Morton

Here's an obit for Jay Morton, the one-time animation and comic book writer who is said to have coined the famous "More powerful than a locomotive..." tagline for Superman. This one says he wrote "about 25" of the early Superman cartoons but there were actually only 17 Superman cartoons in that series and Morton probably didn't work on the last few.
