Oh my god, Ces, that's hilarious.
Seriously though, did it not occur to the syndicate and/or most if not all of those 800 papers that it might be more tasteful to not run any Sunday comic at all rather than run the one you wrote? Would it have been physically impossible to just, I don't know, stick a tire ad in that space instead?

yeah, but if you gave her breasts, all the flat chested women would right to you complaining that not all women are stacked.
That letter sounds like it was written by your Dad, misspelling the last name just to throw you off track.
Or perhaps by any male member of the College of Comix Cardinals.
I can't believe that so many people are against you! This world is too uptight! Loosen up people who have nothing better to do than start public fiascos about fictious storylines: STOP IT!
Thank you.
As a former Richmonder, I am NOT SURPRISED AT ALL that that letter came from a T-D reader. Horrible paper. Horrible.
...and as a current Richmonder, I agree with archivalist. The Times-Dispatch is best used for lining the bottom of the bird cage. I swear there was once an editorial about banning fire and indoor plumbing. Funny letter, though.
There are lots of reasons to hate "Caroline In The City", but I always like to single out one of the early episodes in which Caroline has a date or something that goes badly. She wants to do a comic about it for publication THE NEXT DAY so she calls up her syndicate -- "Is it too late to get a new comic in the papers tomorrow? No? Great!" -- writes and draws the comic, gets it published in papers nationwide the next morning and shows up the guy who offended her.
I was just a college student but I already knew this was pretty damned ridiculous. This behind-the-scenes story only confirms it.
