Dalmatian | Chicago Tribune “Kidnews”
05.16.95
I actually wanted the tiny bit up the side “Dalmatian Revelation” to be the large title in the cartoon. HOWEVER due to some what I still believe to be WAY too much fear of offense, the editors did not like that “Revelation” had a theological connotation and certainly didn’t want to in any way equate that with “poop.” My explanation that, I just liked the rhyme and the first and second definitions in my dictionary were Bible-free i.e., “Something revealed, especially a dramatic disclosure of something not previously known or realized.” did not make my case.
As always, you pick your battles.
