Bigger, Better Comics Page In Dover

I don't hold out much hope for a massive industry-wide trend towards bigger and more dramatic displays featuring comics in newspapers of the kind talked about in this story about one paper's efforts. My gut tells me that even if a paper found a way to devote a whole section to comics printed at 1934 sizes, for most papers there's not going to be enough return on such an investment to counter the deeper, more fundamentally broken aspects of the modern print newspaper. Still, it's a strategy that has the overall greater good of making comics a strength of the paper rather than an afterthought or even a weakness, which is the kind of thinking I applaud, and I wouldn't complain if my local paper were to do it, that's for sure. Good luck, Dover!
