The strips written for this week's 'Doonesbury' have caused a stir all over the country. A group of editors at The Oregonian thought that author Garry Trudeau went over the line of good taste and humor with strips that were too graphic -- in language and images -- for the comics page.

So this week we are sending readers online to read 'Doonesbury.'

We rarely pull strips for taste reasons, and we have resisted calls to cancel or move 'Doonesbury,' which ranks both as one of our most disliked and most liked strips in past comics polls. Other papers around the country have also decided to send readers online or moved this week's strips to other sections of the paper. Some have left them in the comics pages with warnings of their graphic nature. The strips on this week's comics pages are substitute strips sent by Universal Press Syndicate, which handles “Doonesbury” and numerous other comics.

Read the strips online beginning today at

. After you read them for a day or two, take our poll on our decision.
