Readers vote on Church Humor. series dropped from pages
Last week readers were asked to comment on the cartoon series Church Humor. Replies were few and about evenly split with half liking the cartoons and half finding them dull or offensive. The series has been dropped, though the paper says it is not against church humor and that a mild acid joke can have a benign effect.
