The fate of the comics pages
Changing comic strips is in the news again. We newspapers love to write about this topic.
My advice: Leave the comics pages alone. Maybe back in our parents' days, comics sold newspapers, but I would like to see evidence from the 21st century supporting the notion that they do now. People have way too many other sources of amusement these days.
I used to buy the editor line that comics are the way to get kids into the paper habit. That argument made some sense 30 years ago. I doubt we get many new readers that way now.
Readers write to me about comics more than anything else. One sentiment is constant and dominant: Don't change any of the old standards.
Comics are geared to current readers. Unless you're adding space -- meaning you don't have to eliminate any you currently have -- I wouldn't mess with them.
You have more important things to worry about.
