NO LONGER LAUGHING AT THE COMICS

WHY IN THE world would the cartoonist contaminate one of the cutest comic strips in the Roanoke Times & World-News with a subject that has been crammed down my throat by the media? I speak of the characterization of the guy who is gay in "For Better Or For Worse." I strongly object! For goodness sake, leave us something in the newspaper that can induce a chuckle and take our minds off the very controversial subject of homosexuality. It has absolutely no place in the comics section. ELIZABETH J. MARTIN HENRY
