Oh, no! Not the comics issue!
Nothing riles readers like messing with the comics, unless it is leaving out the Jumble or Bridge column. The New York Times, which in its wisdom doesn't run any comic strips, weighed in with a front page story earlier this week.
I'm still getting angry notes about our decision last month to replace Mark Trail with Brewster Rockit, a strip syndicated by local artist Tim Rickard. Things are worse for readers of some newspapers: as the Times report, some large papers are eliminating entire pages of comics. In any case, we moved Mr. Trail's adventures online.
