Humor is in the eye of the beholder
Most mornings, my almost-16-year-old daughter struggles her way down the stairs, scans the front page as she eats her oatmeal, and then turns to the sports section. (She's big into high school sports.) For some reason this morning, she turned to the comics and, after reading Pickles, laughed out loud.
Our comics page takes a lot of heat from readers young and old as being (take your pick: boring, stupid, juvenile and, believe it or not, anti-American). Editors know that we change comics at our own peril. I believe we get more complaints when we remove a comic than anything else we do.
So it made my day that I actually heard someone laugh at a strip.

An interesting read! I'll consider what you said over my christmas holidays. I want Garfield Day-To-Day 2005 Calendar for Christmas!
