Comic Strip Calls on The Stranger to Stop Running Tobacco Adsnew

"The Adventures of Strangie," an anonymous weekly strip distributed online and in at least one Seattle neighborhood, is hell-bent on getting the Stranger -- and other Seattle publications -- to drop advertising from tobacco companies, the Seattle Times reports. The strip's main character is -- you guessed it -- Strangie, a tabloid-sized newspaper who is always pushing smokes on folks. In an open letter, the strip's creator calls on Stranger publisher Tim Keck, Seattle Weekly publisher Ken Stocker and two other Seattle publishers "to meet with each other and create a pact to stop advertising tobacco altogether." (S)he is also "calling on all employees to consider where your paychecks are coming from, and to stand up to your employers." Keck says he's not swayed by the comic. "Our readers are educated adults who can make up their own minds about smoking, drinking and fixed gear bikes," he tells the Times. "We've added their site to our 'Friends of The Stranger' Slog roll. Who doesn't love a didactic comic with the Space Needle as the protagonist?" UPDATE: The Seattle Times now reports that 37-year-old Seattle artist Jeff Weedman is the creator of "Strangie."
