Karl Stevens’ comic page Failure has been cancelled by the Boston Phoenix, where it had run since 2005. The reason, reportedly, is because the above strip insulted an advertiser, Bud Light.

It’s hard to run alternative newspapers any more, what with Craig’s List, and alt.comix strips have mostly moved to the web too. To see one ended because of stating something that’s been said in every bar across the world at one time or another is…sad.
