Yep. Historically, it is arguably liberal voices that have been more frequently "canceled" than conservative voices. I'm old enough to remember some of the times @DoonesburyComic was "canceled" dating back to the mid-1970s.https://twitter.com/JillDLawrence/status/1369634164820111362 …

Having never heard of Mallard Fillmore before, I went to its website and perused its last couple of weeks worth of strips. Damn. Maybe the reason the strip was "cancelled" by those papers is that it is painfully unfunny and not very clever.

"Maybe the reason the strip was "cancelled" by those papers is that it is painfully unfunny and not very clever." Garfield still going strong would suggest that that is not the problem.

True, but in comics it's long been possible to get away with being painfully unfunny and not very clever if your cartoon is *also* generally inoffensive.

'Mallard Fillmore' and the comical side of cancel culture. 'Doonesbury' has already been there.
