"The Dallas Morning News didn't run the current Doonesbury again today, so I figure as long as I went to the trouble to look it up, I might as well post a link to it here.

"I am remiss in not pointing out that The Washington Post started running its daily (Monday through Saturday) comics in color last month. It did so by dedicating the back cover and inside back cover of the daily Style section to the comics. Prior to…"
" The Dallas Morning News ran another substitute Doonesbury for today, OCTOBER 20. I did not receive a personal reply to the letter I sent last week (nor did I expect one), but they did print the following disclaimer in today's comics section along…"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that they have dropped Doonesbury, only that they didn't run the Trump strips. Apparently, something was said about it (by editorial or a reader, I don't know) in Wednesday's paper, which is not part of my subscription.…"
"Doing a little digging, it seems that your newspaper has been owned by Gannett for a while now and that they have been dropping various strips from (apparently) hundreds of papers for budgetary reasons. It was stated that they dropped Doonesbury…"

"Honestly, Rob, I based my opinion solely on that smattering of art posted above. I read the comments you posted elsewhere and I will certainly give it more than a cursory glance should the opportunity ever arise."
"Oh, man. This thread popped up, and I'm so sorry to see you guys aren't enjoying the Flash Gordon strip like I am. Style of art aside -- I like it, and feel like it owes as much or more to Bruce Timm as Mike Oeming -- Schkade knows how to keep a…"

"Hermes Press has solicited Mandrake the Magician: The Complete Newspaper Dailies Volume 2: 1936-1938. Funny thing is, I don't remember volume one. Then I realized: Titan Comics released a similar volume in 2016, comprising the first six…"
"Well dodged that bullet for about 4 years, but I finally got Covid. I had a rotation of symptoms like fever, headache, sore throat, etc. Which honestly I've had worse. What brought me down was how tired I got. I slept about 13 hours Tuesday…"
