Oh good grief - as "Achmed" put it - "Being Politically Correct is hard!"
If you can't deal with the humor, PUT DOWN THE PAPER.
Or I'll have to sue you for interfering with my right to happiness, which comes from reading strips that actually require the use of more than one brain cell.

I work in the canning industry and the moral insult here to canners by the very suggestion that tin cans might be used to store human remains is unforgivable. UNFORGIVABLE!

Also I have been sick and I object to 'Mike Lozada' coopting the idea of illness to express his own displeasure at the insult to Colombia, which is not nearly as great as they insult to the cannery industry. I believe Sr. Lozada owes an apology to all sick people everywhere, plus 20 million dollars.

Are you for real? Nobody has a sense of humor anymore. What crazy nut would think that Juan Valdez was cut up into little pieces. Didn't Columbia also sue Costa Rica for the claim of the name Juan Valdez. What is wrong with the world? Venezuela's leader Hugo Chavez has called US President George W. Bush a devil with his sulfur comments and an Iraqi throwing shows at him. Did he go out and sue people? Seriously a chill pill should be in order. We should sue the lot of you with the drugs coming up here to North America. How many youth have died in the name of Columbia. That is really the sad part about this whole thing. It's just a bunch of lines to convey a chuckle.

Not funny at all!!! I even think 20 million is a low number for such damage. I'm Colombian and the strip makes me sick, the mental picture of human remains in my cup of coffee is just dreadful. Peters crossed the line big time and the damage made to Colombian coffee image is unforgiveable.

But was he good to the last drop? Please tell me Conchita was not roasted along with him. This whole thing is just silly. They are making asses of themselves. I knew Soylent Green was true. Did Charlton Heston scream out at the end of the movie, Soylent Green is Juan Valdez! If I were Mike Peters I would ride with it.
