Philadelphia Inquirer Drops Four Strips Including Lio

I'm not sure of all of the strips were dropped or how the funnies page was reconfigured around dropping so few features, but Terry LaBan mentioned on Facebook this morning that the Philadelphia Inquirer dropped four strips (none of which were his Edge City), while Mark Tatulli confirmed via the same avenue that his Lio was a casualty. He's already rallying the troops to have the strip reinstated. I remember that a dozen years ago, an Inquirer slot was consider an excellent and achievable perch for a strip in its first few years meaning a big market and a reasonably progressive comics page.
