| 75. There's no censorship involved. |

No one was arguing that Johnny Hart shouldn't have the right to say what he wanted. There was no censorship involved.
Some papers didn't like the new direction and dropped it. I'm sure some also picked it up when it descended into jackchickery. That was their right, whichever way they went.
His syndicate never sought to pull strips or cancel his contract. Granted, Creators' Syndicate is rather right wing (full disclosure: my own strip is going to be distributed by their main competition) but I've never heard of them giving anyone trouble about what they do or say.
I may question the propriety of him masquerading religious tracts as a family-friendly comic strip, but I never said he didn't have the right to do it.
