It's a puzzle, Gil
Mess up one of the puzzles and you're in for a busy day on the phone. If there's anything that upsets readers more, then I don't know about it. Unless it is the cancellation of a comic strip.
Did one Sunday and the other today.
Sunday's crossword puzzle was all screwed up. The clues didn't fit the grid and the answers didn't fit the clues or the grid. We're running the right version tomorrow. Among the many calls we got: "I'm down about it but my mother's gone into seclusion."
We dropped Gil Thorp today. The comic strip has been running on the sports agate page. We're redesigning that page and decided we could use the space better. We did it now, rather than when we introduce the redesign because Milford High is about to switch from basketball to baseball and the story line is changing. By mid-day, we'd gotten about half-a-dozen calls. If you want to see what you're missing, go here.
