Dallas Morning News Drops 14 Comics

Alan Gardner notes that the Dallas Morning News has dropped 14 comics from its aggressively stuffed entertainment section, adding Argyle Sweater and calling for a vote on another feature to be added, which I'm guessing from the list provided could also mean one of the dropped features returning depending how the vote turns out. There seems to be a slight problem in that people don't know where to complain or, if they want, to vote. The Morning News has long been one of the most aggressive backers of comic strips in North America, which lends a chilling air to this announcement. It comes as a number of newspapers are struggling mightily with staffing and fees in an era of lost ad revenue.
