I remember the Love Is comic with fondness. View Masters, Hair Bear Bunch, and the Honey Comb Hideout, my good ole days. Love Isn't, is absolutely fitting for these days. Great stuff. Clipped all three.

From the Rockford Register Star Editor's blog "Sometimes I just love a tempest in a teapot. Takes my mind off the serious issues I deal with everyday. Occasionally it’s fun to get all pseudo-excited about not much. So, when Jeremy’s parents took their clothes off in the Zits strip, well, I pulled it, sent nasty-grams to the syndicate and cartoonists. Zits is back on Sunday. OK, yes, I was sorta serious. Some of our readers were just nuts over naked cartoon characters and didn’t “get it” that the strip was riffing off the fat cherubs of “Love Is…” fame. But, really, as I told the syndicate rep, I just don’t have time for dumb stuff. Put the clothes back on." From King Features response: "To my knowledge, out of the 1,600+ newspapers that ZITS appears in, your readers are the only ones who have had such a problem with the depiction." She still thinks it is Jeremy's parents. lmao
just gave my local paper's editor an earful for pulling your love is parody. here are the highlights of her explanation: "I just pulled my favorite comic strip, Zits. And, it’ll stay pulled until creators Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman put some clothes back on Jeremy’s parents. Seems Scott and Borgman ran out of sophisticated ideas and decided to riff on the tired, goofy, pudgy “Love Is…” cherubs with a series of strips titled “Love Isn’t…” ... Not original, but, hey, doing a daily strip is hard work and not every idea is gonna be great. This one careened off the table to flat out dumb when they decided to take off the clothes of Jeremy’s parents." lol, her favorite yet she doesn't know who the characters are. http://blogs.e-rockford.com/editorsnote/2009/11/05/jeremys-parents-are-naked/
They are making fun of "Love is" cartoons". It's not obscene or disgusting. I think it's funny.
