http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parents_Mu ... rce_CenterThe who?Arrr! It's like the PMRC all over again!
They're the group of senators' wives who got together in the 80s to censor the evil that was heavy MEHTUL. Those parental advisory stickers on albums, tapes, and CDs are their lasting legacy.

Articles are a subset of adjectives? Hardly...
You can say 'the small house' but not 'small the house'. While with any other adjectives you can swap them around. Historically, articles came from demonstratives, which are pronouns like you, him, they, me etc. So by definition they can't be adjectives.

Furries? Are they the nutters that pretend to be animals and draw humans that look like animals? Christ, I sink my head into my paws... -Rooster

This site supports my claim, but apparently it is not universally accepted in academia:
I figure on counting articles as adjectives because of where we put them when we diagram sentences.The articles a, an, and the and possessive nouns, such as Mary's, are classified as adjectives by some grammarians; however, such classification may be specific to one particular language.

That makes sense, since the article IS describing the noun.Articles are a subset of adjectives. But you're right about the other words, which I was too lazy to review.Actually "a" is an indefinite article. Also, what about "now" , "eat" and "from"? None of those are nouns.
But heading back to the strip, I reckon when DCS prints this in a book he should include the uncensored version.

Hope y'all don't mind a little resurrection here. I just found a video which, at around 1:45, includes similar censorship in which what remains seems awfully random:
