Madam, - Tony Toomey (June 11th) is by no means alone in his disaffection with Doonesbury.
It is many years now since I gave it so much as a glance as I found it to be badly drawn, tasteless and lacking in humour.
Irish people are known for their wit all over the world. Why do we have to import this American trash? - Yours, etc.,

Madam, - Regarding Tony Toomey's complaint about Doonesbury, may I quote T.S. Eliot? "Between the idea and the reality falls the shadow."
If satire is found to be in bad taste, it means it is hitting the nail on the head. As for Doonesbury, when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. - Yours, etc.,
