Real Action in the Triangle
From Today's News & Observer:
Is Ted being Forthright? (re: Last week's Sally Forth, and also the big news, drumroll . . .) A suggestion that the N&O may consider changing things up on the comics page.
I remember last night's poster who said this had happened in his paper too, then the complaints brought back the oldies-but-suckies. So, we'll see. Trust me, though, I will be emailing them FORTHwith (pun intended).
Still! Action! I'm so happy and excited. And a little disappointed in myself. I think other people are fighting for world peace, an end to hunger, etc. Well, it's bad comics for me. We all have to have our fights.

There are plenty of people fighting for peace and an end to hunger...we need MORE comic crusaders out there!
Some years ago, they let subscribers to my hometown paper vote on what strips they'd like to see, with a list of the strips they were currently running plus some others. I won't tell you what my hometown is, because I'm embarrased to admit that when the votes were tallied, they pulled "Over the Hedge" for a bland, idiotic "Rugrats" strip (yes, based on the Nickelodeon cartoon). So just letting the people vote may not get the job done.
Love the blog, by the way. I've been reading it since about December.
Whitney,
Thank you!! And thanks for staying with us for so long.
Yes, I hope this doesn't turn into a "be careful what you wish for" scenario. Maybe the N&O comics will change, but it will be something like lose Get Fuzzy, gain Andy Capp. UGH.
