Mason Adams on Post-Doonesbury Hiatus at the Roanoke Times
posted August 8, 2008
 

I think I mentioned a while back the Roanoke Times had pulled Doonesbury and replaced it with a trial run of "Pearls Before Swine" during its hiatus. The thought was that we might use "Pearls" to replace "For Better or For Worse" when it goes all reruns. When Doonesbury returned, the editors initially decided *not* to go with Pearls, but due to rabid reader feedback have since added it to the comics page as an additional strip (FBOFW still retains its spot, at least for now).
