Pickles

Pickles is my very favorite comic. Please don't get rid of it.

Making room...

...for the newer and edgier comics should be easy. Get rid of the reruns, like For Better... and Peanuts. Get rid of the older comics which are not drawn by original artists, like Blondie, Dennis... and Beetle...

Other older comics which are too boring and predictable could go also: Hi & Lois, Hagar..., and B.C.

Besides Zits and Mutts, all my favorites are on the right hand page!

Agnes Rules

Visitor — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 09:54:54 -0400

Agnes is back where she belongs & I hope she stays! The determination of a young girl trying to find her place in this world is a deep pool of comic genius.

My other "must read" is Get Fuzzy.

Sarcasm rocks! 8-)

I still liked Edison Lee best. Please bring it back.

Dog Eat Doug

Dog Eat Doug is cute in a good way (not too sugary sweet) and mostly very funny. I hope you keep it.

Dog Eat Doug: Lame Tina's Groove: Not consistently funny Wizard of Id: Lamest of the Lame. Please don't bring it back. Agnes: Not funny Little Dog Lost: Lousy Arlo & Janis has been good in the past - great, in fact. Hope it still is. Lio is boring and predictable. Remember the fuss when it first appeared? Many people thought it was too much, too grotesque, etc. No, it's just boring and predictable. Mallard Fillmore is utterly horrible. Just not funny. Mean spirited. All those slams of teachers in the past few weeks were awful. No wit, just mean and stupid. Please get rid of it.

Wizard of Id

MPB — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 16:00:22 -0400

I liked all three strips in this test run. I could do without Get Fuzzy. I just don't get it. I read all the comics but often wonder why after I have read Get Fuzzy why I bothered.

I want to see the same strips every day. Make up your mind what you are running and run them. Quit testing!

Dog eat Doug is great!! Please keep it..

Thanks DBH

August 08 test comics

Dog Eat Doug is a sweet, funny, and beautifully drawn strip that's been part of my daily online routine for a couple of years, and I hope you'll keep it in the N&O.

The Wizard of Id is a lot like Peanuts to me - painfully obligatory, and that's not a reason to take up space.

You should run another strip called "One Big Happy" by Rick Detorie - it's wonderful!

And could you puh-leeze stop squashing Drabble?

Love the Wizard

It's been a long time since I've seen the Wizard. Still a great comic!

Funny, not boring

I love The Knight Life!

Pooch-Knight-Scary

Allenb — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 18:59:15 -0400

Pooch Cafe, Knight Life and Scary Gary were worth a try since they are popular somewhere ( I don't know where). But I can't find much to like about any of them. Maybe if the "in heat" story line finally came to an end, we could get a better view of Pooch.

For now, thanks for the try and I look forward to the next three. And thanks for NOT reducing the comics pages while the rest of the N&O shrinks.

send or e-mail some samples

togburn — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 17:02:00 -0400

Visitor:

We can't give someone a chance (or even contact you) without some more information.

We'd be happy to take a look at your son's sample strips. He can e-mail samples to me, along with contact information at thad.ogburn@newsobserver.com. Or, he can mail me samples to Thad Ogburn, The News & Observer, 215 S. McDowell St., Raleigh, NC 27609

We've received some samples from time to time, but most weren't usuable because they:

1. Were an odd size that didn't fit the format

2. Had inappropriate content (sexual, racial, etc.)

3. Were copies of characters created by other cartoonists.

But if the cartoons are something original, are in the correct size and are suitable for a family newspaper, we're happy to take a look.

Thanks.

Thad

Pooch Cafe

I love Pooch Cafe! I think it needs to be a permanent addition to the N&O comic strip section.
