GOSH, THERE'S
OH, NO.. THAT WORD
oo A&UN
Earlier this month Garry Tru
deau, the cartoonist behind Doones
bury, put together a series of six strips
for the syndicated cartoon distrib
uted by Universal Press Syndicate to
over 800 newspapers worldwide. The
syndicate did not wish to release the
strips on the grounds that they might
offend and, following discussions,
Trudeau agreed to withdraw them.
According to Laura E. Obolensky,
Editorial Corporate Coordinator of
The New Republic, Trudeau then
contacted the editor of the magazine
and offered the strips to him. They
appeared in the issue of June 10.
Subsequently, Obolensky told me, 20
to 25 papers have contacted the
magazine for permission to reprint
the strips. The Tar Heel is happy to
join those publications and grateful
to The New Republic for their kind
permission to do so.
The Chapel Hill Newspaper has
recently announced its decision to
drop Doonesburv altogether. A
spokesman for the paper refused to
comment on the decision and
referred me to their editorial while
commenting that it was a decision
of the paper's editor and publisher,
Orville Campbell.
Mr. Campbell's editorial acknowl
edges that it may arouse some
controversy and admits that: "If it
were left up to our young staff,
Doonesbury would still be a part of
the paper."
Campbell states that: "Where there
is controversy in America, there is
Doonesbury offering up opinion in
a very offensive manner." He goes
on to complain that no newspaper
should have acceded to Trudeau's
requirement that they publish the
strip a certain size. We have no
problem with that. Mr. Trudeau is
offering a product for sale with
certain requirements to its use, which
he is perfectly entitled to do. If papers
do not want to agree to it then they
do not have to buy the product, as
Mr. Campbell is no longer doing. Mr.
Trudeau has every justification it
is all to easy to shrink the comics
to near illegibility when space is
pressing and I regret that we have
to reduce Bloom County as much as
we do at the moment to get it all
in.
Campbell then makes an appar
ently irrelevant comparison: "Sup
pose our editorial policy on local
people, from the governor down, was
to ridicule them in our editorial
columns without allowing them any
space to reply. That wouldn't exactly
be 'freedom of the press' as we define
it." Firstly, everyone Trudeau satir
izes (he does not 'ridicule') has the
right to reply and freedom to do so.
More importantly, Campbell is not
exercising freedom of the press
himself by censoring Doonesbury.
We deplore this decision and assure
our readers that we will not be doing
so even when Trudeau's politics
conflict with our own.
