The Chicago Tribune needs to grow a pair

In a bizarre bit of old-media paranoia, the Chicago Tribune has cut a comic strip that makes a joke about mobsters putting the whack on a guy’s sack. Seems our culture is not emotionally equipped to handle jokes about testicles, at least not in the panels of Get Fuzzy. A few times a year, you hear about comics getting pulled for content, like B.C.’s anachronistic take on Judaism. But a nut joke? C’mon. Maybe it got yanked just because it’s one of the only comics in recent memory that’s actually made me chuckle.
