Garfield and newspapers

April 3, 2008

The Mercury News is in transition. Why else would the comics be in different sections from day to day, and sometimes in the Entertainment magazine? Recently, they’ve gone to half pages when you least expect it. Makes folding the paper during my usual working lunch quite the challenge.

I depend on SFGate for most of my news and features. When I’m stressed, I’ll read The Poop, their blog on raising kids. Today, it discusses Garfield minus Garfield.

As one who never found the comic funny, but had to put up with kids who thought it was, this is a fascinating angle.
