I do have to say that our newspaper in Sioux City—the Sioux City Journal was running your Sunday only feature until a couple of weeks ago when they purged all of the current comics in favor of adding “Comics Kingdom” to their website. Over 100 comics on the web for subscribers only, probably a package buy with all of the Lee Enterprises newspapers nationwide. Many are new, many are old (Mary Worth, the Phantom, etc.) most are weird—aimed at teens/young adults. Few are created by women! It’s sad…
Totally unfair…Talented women need more opportunities to break through with their comics—the ‘old guard’ is just that…old and stale. Let the new comics help stem the tide of dead and dying newspapers nationwide!
Our Jasper played “Leapin’ Lupin” for us tonight—he managed to tip over a water bowl, food bowl and the table it was on—all in the haste to be first at the food! Cat Chow, water and other stuff everywhere, with Lup—er, uh, Jasper calmly in the middle of it all snacking on the kibble.
Sioux City Journal and other same owner newspapers are changing—dropping some comics again from print, but making most of Go Comics and others available with their online version. Haven’t looked for BCN on their site as I prefer my selection of Go Comics instead. I will check on it, though…
