Prickly City No Sub for Mallard?

Here's an interesting article from comics in the newspapers strategy standpoint, as much as those exist in syndicated feature land: Houston Chronicle readers complain about the dropping of the conservative Mallard Fillmore even though it was replaced by the conservative Prickly City. This could mean a lot of things, or a little bit of a number of things: that people really like Mallard Fillmore even theough conventional wisdom always said that people liked it just because it was the only stridently conservative strip out there, the comics fans really like their old favorites and hate trying new stuff, that Prickly City just isn't hitting with its target audience. It could also be none of those things. Maybe people in Houston complain a lot?
