So the context is that she added a commonly used slur against one of our adversaries during the war in a flashback set during said war? Did she also make a reference to the Germans wearing chamber pots on their heads? While I agree that it isn’t smart to have done so, we’re not even comparing apples and oranges here. That was the context, but it also did not help that this was a creator who had already tested the patience of a lot of papers by then with his very strange, sexually charged comic strips, so it was kind of a "enough is enough" boiling point. If he wasn't on thin ice, it'd have probably been less of an issue. Pretty sure 9 Chickweed Lane and its sister strips are authored by a woman. I’m sure that made it more outrageous when she first started.

If I was Scott I'd just hire the team behind the current Heathcliff run to write and draw the comic and Scott could just put his name on it. At least then it would be insane in the good way. That's also what Jim Davis does for Garfield too...
