This strip is dumb. There are a few really good strips in the paper, a lot of "why bother" strips, and one really offensive one (Gil Thorpe - sexist and stupid to boot!). Why not have a poll to identify the strips that a majority of the readers responding want to see the end of? I would nominate a number of them, starting with Gil Thorpe: Kudzu, Pearls before Swine, Pickles, Rhymes with Orange, Lio, Rose is Rose, Garfield, and all four of the single paned "box" cartoons. I get the feeling that the paper looks for the cheaper series, and winds up with the ones that just aren't very good. In fact, with few exceptions, they could do away with the entire right page. I would save Sally Forth and wouldn't miss the rest of them at all.
