Bowdlerise: Newspaper Comics
  • Boy, have Pearls Before Swine and Dilbert gone through this.
    • What's weird is that in one instance ("I yust got out"} it improved the clarity. That's two for a thousand so far.
  • When Scott Adams was told he could not have Satan as a character in one of his Dilbert strips, he introduced "Phil the Prince of Insufficient Light", who wielded a large spoon and would temporarily "darn" people to "heck" over relatively minor offenses. Adams does admit that this character ended up being funnier than what he had planned for Satan.
