Calendar Letters to the Editor Sunday, December 12
To our readers: We gave the decision to drop “9 Chickwood Lane” from our comics pages serious thought based on responses from readers and staff. It was not a decision we took lightly. We realize the strip has a loyal following, but we also had heard from many readers complaining about the strip. Our decision was based not on one offensive comic but on an evaluation of the strip overall, and more broadly an evaluation of our entire comic catalog.
Below is a small sample of the hundreds of letters Calendar Feedback has received from our readers regarding the comic strip and our decision to drop it:I understand that humor can be subjective, satirical and subject to one’s point of view. I fail to see how today’s “9 Chickweed Lane” [Dec. 1] accomplishes any of these. Several thousand sailors and Marines died in [World War II] and a reimagining of history is not only disrespectful to them but fuels anti-Asian sentiment already in society.
