Readers critique The Post: These long-running comic strips are offensive
Every week, The Post runs a collection of letters of readers' grievances — pointing out grammatical mistakes, missing coverage and inconsistencies. These letters tell us what we did wrong and, occasionally, offer praise. Here, we present this week's Free for All letters.
As I've previously proffered, there seems to be some form of comic collaboration occurring on the pages of The Post. On May 8, four strips featured takeout food, and two of them specifically mentioned pizza. Granted, Dagwood in 'Blondie' is obsessed with eating the most unhealthy, gargantuan sandwiches almost every day. How does he stay so slim?

Diddy trial live updates: Ex-assistant Mia continues testimony in Sean Combs's sex-trafficking case
Sean 'Diddy' Combs could be sent to prison for life if convicted at his trial on federal sex-trafficking and racketeering charges, which started May 5 in New York. You might remember Sean Combs's effort to make voting 'sexy' in 2004. This was back when the Iraq War was raging, John F. Kerry was challenging incumbent George W. Bush for the presidency, and people still called Combs 'P. Diddy.' His 'Vote or Die!' campaign was billed as a historic project to increase the hip-hop-adjacent youth vote, pulling in the likes of Russell Simmons, 50 Cent and MTV in various capacities. 'I'm trying to light the spark and start the flame,' Combs was quoted as saying.

Mission: Unaccountable
Chris Klimek is a film critic in Washington. You don't often see this in movies, but most spies have to be boring to be good at their jobs. In the 2006 J.J. Abrams-directed 'Mission: Impossible III,' Tom Cruise's alter ego, superspy Ethan Hunt, has retired from mask-pulls and gymnastic infiltrations. Yet his job remains so black bag that even his beautiful physician fiancée thinks he's a desk jockey for the Virginia Transportation Department. In an early party scene, he gives us a brief soliloquy, delivered with Cruise's patented help-me-help-you rectitude, about traffic patterns: 'It's amazing. It's like a living organism.'
