I’ve been a big fan of Mutts, but the London Free Press editorial’s argument basically sounds like, “Because it’s good for you!” FWIW, Krazy Kat survived largely because William Randolph Hearst loved it so — and thank goodness for that!

Wiley is sooooo right. THis whole “shootout ” thing is just lazy and stopid. Read some of the comments on the page, they are classic. I like inkjet’s coment:

inkjet:

Wait a second OCR..

You had 366 people who voted to KEEP Pearls before swine and you STILL decided to cut it?

Are you morons?

Classic!

“The June shootout sports Hi & Lois versus Get Fuzzy.”

Once again, more evidence that editors have absolutely no clue about the very product they’re supposed to be editing. Imagine for a moment that they subjected columns to this same sort of lunacy. This would be like having a “shootout” between Dear Abby and George Will.

This editor should be fired.

According to today’s Orange County Register, both Pearls Before Swine and Get Fuzzy will return to their comics’ section on June 11. Apparently, the reader backlash overwhelmed the paper & they are reversing their bone headed move to cut the two strips.
Their handpicked replacements, Pickels & the lame De-Flocked, have been bumped off the page after two days.
Perhaps this will serve as an example to newspapers as to why “reader polls’ results” aren’t an accurate gauge of a strip’s popularity with the REAL comics’ page readers!
Gee, do you think old people might be stuffing the ballot box?
