1. A final indignity--

not quite, here's your bill
How can I say this? It's as though Trudeau can read my mind. He always strikes at the heart of the matter and does it with such dry, droll style.

[DirkGently]

2. Excellent. Bookmarked.

[Justice wanted]

3. Where did you get this? Would love to read it fully.

[onehandle]

4. That's the full series. Nothing else to read. nt

[Justice wanted]

5. I can't see it well on the screen. It is too small for me to read.

[lunatica]

7. You can enlarge the screen by

pressing the apple key and the plus sign at the same time if you have a Mac. On a PC I think you can press the control key and the plus sign at the same time.

[RebelOne]

15. I have a Mac, but where is the Apple key? I don't see it on my keyboard.

[RebelOne]

18. Never mind. I found it, but it is still not enlarging the type in the cartoon.

All the other type has been enlarged though.

[spooky3]

23. Some Macs have a "command" key rather than an "apple" key, to the left of the space bar.

Maybe this (together with the plus key) will work.

[gkhouston]

54. Try pressing it several times. The strips enlarge, but more slowly than other text. n/t

[LuckyLib]

25. I'm missing something -- must confess my ignorance -- command and the plus sign enhance the type,

but not the graphic. Using Firefox. Something about how it was added makes this difficult for Mac users?

[ohheckyeah]

34. see reply #32 n/t

[immoderate]

43. On Firefox, you may have to change options to zoom graphics.

View > Zoom > Whatever it says to zoom graphics.

I found this out just like you did -- here.

--imm

[bvar22]

61. Try this:

Right click on the graphic

Select "View Image"

Then hold down the Ctrl key, and scroll up (or down) with the Mouse Scroll Wheel.

[Electric Monk]

16. Larger

[Justice wanted]

22. Thanks. Doonsebury is a Genius

[Godot51]

27. On a Mac

The problem seems to have been solved before I could put my brilliant mind to it but on my (old) Mac I could right click 'open in new window' to get a larger view.

[ohheckyeah]

32. Right click on the image

and then click View Image in the menu. You can then enlarge it by clicking on it when it opens in a new window. Just click on it.

(instructions for Firefox)

58. I combined the best of both worlds

I took the original two column layout--which was actually larger but too wide for the message board to display without shrinkage--and gimped into a single column. This should display nicely.

[Warpy]

6. It's not like even a transvaginal ultrasound would allow a tech to see discrete parts

at that stage. It's smaller than a cashew nut with gills like a fish when most women abort a pregnancy and at that stage, all are female. There's also a yolk sac. Arms and legs are buds and that's it except the tail.

The Texas Proxy Rape and Fetal Shaming Law will undoubtedly increase business at Planned Parenthood here in NM. Yes, it's a six to twelve hour drive, but if I were dumb enough to live in Texas, it would be worth it.

[Ken Burch]

30. Shouldn't have mentioned that.

They'll have the Rangers, the megachurched, and the Minutemen lined up at El Paso.

(Carlene from "GCB" will be there two, with her designer shotgun).

[marasinghe]

8. thank you.

[krispos42]

9. Holy shit.

And what's truly sad is that it really isn't exaggeration.

[onehandle]

11. I read it as straight news. The funnies ain't funny anymore. nt

[PufPuf23]

12. "If it wants to be the next Rick Perry, I've made up my mind."

Thanks for the post.

[valerief]

13. Bravo! nt

14. Posted from Drinking Liberally Philadelphia, BTW.

Seek out your local chapter. You dont have to drink.

[FailureToCommunicate]

28. Thank you for posting this!

[rhett o rick]

64. But I want to drink. nm

[pokerfan]

17. I was wondering when this would be leaked

After all, our newspaper editors had the complete series last week.

Texas’s HB-15 isn’t hard to explain: The bill says that in order for a woman to obtain a perfectly legal medical procedure, she is first compelled by law to endure a vaginal probe with a hard, plastic 10-inch wand. The World Health Organization defines rape as “physically forced or otherwise coerced penetration — even if slight — of the vulva or anus, using a penis, other body parts or an object.” You tell me the difference. -Garry Trudeau

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. The UT censored it

Should I act shocked now.

[ohheckyeah]

35. The Roanoke

Times in Virginia censored it.

[progressoid]

42. The Omaha World Herald.

Not surprised. But the Des Moines Register? Shameful.

[Pachamama]

46. The Oregonian????? Oregen Register Guard???

Seriously??????

WTF Oregon(ian)???? WTF Register Guard????

Censorship????

[pokerfan]

56. The Oregonian is more right-wing than you might think

Read some of the comments to their decision to censor Doonesbury:
http://blog.oregonlive.com/oregonianeditors/2012/03/doonesbury_editors_decide_not.html

Is the Oregonian newsroom tilting to the right?

[nxylas]

47. Surprised The State (Columbia, SC) wasn't on that list

After all, they once refused to run a Doonesbury strip that featured the word "crap".

[MadrasT]

50. At least 8 of those papers are in PA

Pennsylvania is really starting to suck.

[era veteran]

53. Lexington (KY) Herald Leader

They will publish them all Sunday on the editorial page.

[lastlib]

55. Kansas City Star moved it to editorial page

[bhcodem]

60. Here's one you missed..

The Waterloo/Cedar Falls (IA) Courier

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. Thanks, no wonder a few papers refused to run it

Great job sir.

[WillyT]

21. Thank You !!! - K & R !!!

[obxhead]

24. So that's the horror so many papers don't want us to see.

Glad I stopped wasting trees and money a decade ago buying any print newspaper.

[byronius]

26. Oy. Thanks for this. So creepy. So enraging. n/t

[BattyDem]

29. Censored?? This should be mandatory viewing for every female voter and ...

the people who love them! It doesn't get any clearer than this!

I wonder ... were they worried about the people who would be offended by the comic strip or the people who would be outraged by the actual law?

[LadyHawkAZ]

37. I'll give you one guess. n/t

[geckosfeet]

31. Thanks for posting!

[rgbecker]

33. St. Louis Post Dispatch!?!

The country has gone to Hell, I tell ya, gone to Hell!

[Solly Mack]

36. Just plain fuck anyone and everyone that supports denying (or hobbling)

women the right to make their own medical choices or to determine when they become a parent... and fuck them for being authoritarian busybodies that can't keep their interfering noses and laws out of a woman's life.


ETA: K&R

[LadyHawkAZ]

38. Thank you for posting this. n/t

[aquart]

39. It doesn't expand on my desktop.

I can expand everything else but not the Doonesbury images.

A LINK would be nice.

[Electric Monk]

40. See post #16

41. I replaced my original OP with your linked image. Thanks. nt

[lunatica]

51. Did you try to edit the original OP you started?

Someone told me there's no time limit on edits in DU3. Maybe there's no limit on the original posts either?

[LittleGirl]

44. wow, just wow

brilliant. thanks for posting the full series. I don't get any papers anymore and without DU would have missed this.

[Jim Lane]

45. If the implementation of this isn't stayed, maybe it would help put Texas in play in November.

In 2008, Texas was pretty red (McCain 55%, Obama 44%). Still, with Hispanics making up more of the electorate, the Obama campaign has been making noises about contesting the state. If enough women have to go through this in real life between now and November, who knows what might happen.

[nofurylike]

48. perfect. vile. thank you for posting those, onehandle. nt

[DLevine]

49. Trudeau gets it.

Sad that so many Americans do not get it. The war on women continues.

[Amaril]

52. Thanks for posting this!

DU rec'd AND posted to FB for the benefit of anyone in my friend list who may not have been able to see it.

[Junkdrawer]

57. I can see it with FireFox, only a thumbnail in IE8...

some sort of Digital Rights filtering?

[joeybee12]

59. If it wants to grow up to be the next Rick Perry...

I've already made up my mind. KNR

[bvar22]

62. WOW. If it is THAT hard to get a medical exam in Texas,

.....it must be near impossible to buy a gun!

[ceile]

63. K&R!

And on a side note, they also make doctors passout literature about how abortions cause breast cancer and mental illness. Speaking from personal experience.

[nolabear]

65. Papers object to the comic but not the actual procedure?

That is so f*cked up.

Brilliant and creepy as all hell. Oh, and note to Limbaugh: THIS is the use of humor for social purposes.

[ellisonz]

66. Kick.

[suffragette]

67. Good roundup of info on this here:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/comic-riffs/post/the-great-doonesbury-abortion-strip-roundup-from-animation-to-aberrations-heres-how-things-shook-out/2012/03/15/gIQAD0yUFS_blog.html

Be sure to watch the animated video at the top of the page. It's described in item # 3 in the article.

Also, the editorial cartoon Bagley did for his paper after it decided not to run Thursday's panel. Be sure to read the paragraph explaining images he used.
