Fort Knox Launched With 25 Papers

Syndicates are notoriously elusive about launches when directly asked, but are frequently quite open about them as a matter of course in presenting those strips to newspapers on down the line. Thus we learn that Paul Jon's Fort Knox launched with 25 papers, which I think needs to be noted as a sign that it's a tough out there right now. It's just a hunch on my part, but I think a strip with a solid conceptual location/milieu like Jon's strip -- military base communities -- would have launched with 10-25 more papers ten years ago. Or maybe not; I'm not all that familiar with the strip on a day-in, day-out basis. And it's always tough to launch a strip with any papers in any market.
