Link to Today's Doonesbury

By Professor University of Miami School of Law

If your newspaper, like mine, decided not to run today’s Doonesbury, here’s a link to today’s strip. Many papers failed to carry the strip because it predicted an Obama victory in a part of the paper that went to bed before the results could be known.

I don’t mind so much the Miami Herald being a coward and making the fundamentally silly choice of substituting a re-run or an old strip instead — it’s failing to acknowledge what they were doing by, say, tacking on a little note that I think is pretty bad…

Then again, this sort of gutlessness (managed to make it to the end of a Myriam Marquez column yet? Don’t you miss Jim DeFede and Ana Menendez?) is one more reason why the Herald seems less and less necessary.
