Ditto from me to all five of the letters to the editor printed March 24 regarding the cancellation of “Non Sequitur.” And you are replacing it with “Macanudo”? The one line of text in last Sunday’s strip – “I’m hallucivaping” – is what you want to promote? Drug culture? Whoever is making these decisions needs […]

Letter to the editor: Let readers decide fate of much-loved comic strip
Please reconsider your cancellation of “Non Sequitur”! I didn’t see the “accident” on Feb. 10 or the explanation for the strip’s dismissal (March 17, Page A1), but I wondered what happened. How many people actually saw this error in judgment, meant as a joke, followed by a forgotten erasure? How many people were actually upset […]

Letter to the editor: Special counsel’s report vindicates President Trump
Well, the corrupt government agencies and the media are wringing their hands because President Trump was found not to have colluded with Russia. What a colossal waste of time and energy by the FBI and the special counsel to build a case for impeaching the president. Those Americans who had no ax to grind, and […]

Another View: Team names like ‘Indians’ are meant to honor, not shame
Bill Nemitz is wrong to see signs of disrespect in names based on qualities we admire.

Letter to the editor: Dropping of ‘Non Sequitur,’ shrinking of ‘Doonesbury’ decried
I endorse the opinion of David Moltz (“Letter to the editor: Topical wit now scarce on comics pages,” March 24). Humor, even trenchant, helps shed light on current events. The serious comic dropped helped enlighten us. Bring “Non Sequitur” back – and make “Doonesbury” legible. Bill Gannon Scarborough

Letter to the editor: ‘Macanudo’ poor replacement for ‘Non Sequitur’
I am writing to express my sincere lack of appreciation of the recent change you have made to your comics pages. Specifically: Replacing the terrific cartoon “Non Sequitur” with the new and lousy cartoon “Macanudo.” “Non Sequitur” was an excellent, humorous cartoon series, both the daily and weekend versions. Some strips were simple and funny. […]

Letter to the editor: Replace broken system with health care for all
Jonathan McKane finishes his recent guest editorial (“Another View: Give free market a chance to ease health care expenses,” March 17) with the statement that ours is “the best health care system in the world.” A simple internet search shows that to be false. That untruth casts serious doubt on all the preceding arguments. It’s […]

Letter to the editor: Renters in Maine need more legal protection
A bill requiring landlords to give more notice of rent hikes and no-cause evictions would help tenants in a tight market.

Letter to the editor: Call out Trump for continued attacks on late war hero
As a twice-decorated veteran who oscillates between pro and con when it comes to our draft-evading president, I can forgive that along with forgiving Jane Fonda, aka “Hanoi Jane.” What is hard to forgive is Donald Trump’s tirade about the Honorable John McCain. I wish Trump had remained silent on the subject. I know that’s […]

Letter to the editor: Elite schools’ mystique aside, good students succeed anywhere
Elite schools have a claim on our imagination that may have outlived its usefulness. There are many stories about the mental anguish that high school students experience during the college admissions process. The pressure to get excellent grades and pad their resumes with many extracurricular activities has led to an epidemic of anxiety and depression. […]
