As part of The News-Review’s recent redesign and our desire to continually improve content, we’ve added two new comic strips to our Comics page starting today on page 16.
“FoxTrot” by Bill Amend is a comic strip with attitude, wit and a big dose of reality. Amend’s understanding of sibling rivalry and generational struggles comes to life in a refreshing blend of humor and truth as he tells the comic adventures of the Fox family. “FoxTrot” has been running in newspapers since 1988.
“Pickles” by Brian Crane tells the story of Earl and Opal Pickles as they enjoy their golden years surrounded by friends and family. “Pickles” was named the best comic strip of 2001 by the National Cartoonists’ Society.
Both strips are being run as tests for the next several weeks, and we’d like to know what you think.
Readers asked us to make our Daily Crossword larger, so we’ve moved into the Classified section where we have room to expand it. It’s on page 20 today, along with our Sudoku strip.
We’re considering making future changes and possible additions or subtractions from the Comics page.
A recent survey of The News-Review readers advisory board asked them to tell us which were their favorite strips in the newspaper. “For Better Or Worse” and “Dilbert” were the top choices, while bringing up the rear was “Rose Is Rose.” We’re using this input and other information to help decide on future content.
If you have input you’d like to share about our new strips or other comics, please e-mail Features Editor Nik Dirga at ndirga@newsreview.info. No phone calls, please.
