Close to Home (comic strip)


Close to Home is a daily, one-panel comic strip by American cartoonist John McPherson that debuted in 1992. The comic strip features no ongoing plot, but is instead a collection of one-shot jokes covering a number of subjects that are "close to home", such as marriage, children, school, work, sports, health and home life. It runs in nearly 700 newspapers worldwide.

Controversy

The February 21, 2020 edition of Close to Home, depicting the Lone Ranger and Tonto in a bar, was deemed offensive and racist, leading some newspaper publishers to cancel the comic and others to apologize to readers.
