A recent installment of long-running syndicated comic strip ‘Six Chix’ tackling anti-mask rhetoric from a Black Lives Matter movement perspective was pulled from some newspapers. “This is a complete step back in the wrong direction,” the artist said.
“We have notified the syndicate that provides the comic that we will no longer be running Six Chix in our newspaper as a result,” the apology read. “We’ve also requested an apology from them. Our apologies for a cartoon that reflected the exact opposite of what we stand for as a newspaper.”“Bianca created the July 28, 2020, ‘Six Chix’ cartoon to be a joke commenting on how Black issues are often disregarded as a personal problem and not a systemic issue,” Fougner said.
“I am not apologizing for this comic and this censorship,” Xunise said. She explained how there was no misunderstanding behind the messaging of her comic strip. Xunise added that the comic went through two checkpoints: one with her editors and another with the newspaper editors that made the final decision to publish it.
