In this case you should. PolitiFact is the premier fact checker. Their opening comment from the link:
We've said from the start that PolitiFact would check anyone who speaks up in American politics. We've checked Obama Girl, Spike the Romney Attack Dog and a bumper sticker on a Volkswagen VR6. We haven't checked comic strips before, but when a reader asked us to check a claim from Sunday's Doonesbury, we were up for it.
Moving on, they state, tongue in cheek:
So let's put other comic strip characters on notice. That means you, Zippy the Pinhead, Hagar the Horrible and Rex Morgan, M.D. We're watching what you say.
Which begs the important question. Who the hell is Zippy the Pinhead?
