    This comic is called “Looks Good on Paper.” But we’re reading it online. And it’s a little late in the game for this theme. And likely not original. Alas.

    Just outside the edge of the panel is a bar called “The End” and this was just a clever street ad.

    I think it is sad.

    I used to write for a satirical bi-monthly newspaper who’s banner read: " Free….And Worth Every Penny Of It ! "

    It went the way of most print media. The only real newspaper we occasionally get, anymore, is a local Ecuadoran one . All of my daily news, comics, and sports fixes are online.

    My paid newspaper and magazine subscriptions are electronic, but I feel that, by paying of an online subscription, I am still supporting a free press.

    Could that sign be indicating that the woman who is approaching has a rather spectacular posterior?

    By this time, I’m almost every day the only one in the metro reading a news*paper*. All other people are looking on their smartphones, mostly messaging or playing simple games, some reading some news channel. When the train is very crowded, it is difficult to turn the page as my paper is quite large in size (they kept the traditional size of olden-time newspapers when most others changed to the tabloid format). For me it is funny as I’ve always been an early adopter of technology, using and programming computers in a time when nobody ever saw one in real life, using eMail when people outside a University had never heard of it and cruising the Web with Mosaic when nobody in my circle of friends and acquaintances had ever heard about such things like a browser and the internet. And standing there in the underground train, many people will think that I’m some old-fashioned guy who didn’t keep up with modern times. And yet I’m probably often the only one in the whole train who knows what a blockchain really is and how it works. But I’ve decided, that I will read this paper-gazette until the end of my life (supposed the printed version will still exist), because I really enjoy it and have such good memories about reading the daily news as a child 50 years ago.
