Not Comics: Sun-Times Media Group Inc. Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy



I think the owner of the Sun-Times declaring bankruptcy counts as major news given its big-name status and what this portends for the general decline of newspapers, although it's worth being reminded that Chapter 11 is the reorganization kind of bankruptcy not the pull it and let fly down the drain kind.

I'm working from memory here, but I believe the Sun-Times has four tabloid-sized pages of comic strips including Garfield and Cul De Sac, and has been the home of some great editorial cartoonists including Bill Mauldin (1962-1995) and their current heavy-hitter, Pulitzer Prize-winner Jack Higgins. I can't recall if STMG still owns some suburban papers or not.
