Former New York City Mayor Fiorello La Guardia reportedly liked to read the Sunday funny papers over the radio to the kids of his city. It seems unlikely he would do the same with some of the current Sunday offerings.

Consider the June 5, 2005, strip of "Opus." Reference was made to a "belly fart." Do we really need this type of gutter comedy on the funny pages for our young people? If so, it makes one wonder how much more will be presented as comical. It would certainly be nice to keep Maine green and our comics clean.
