And what were the "Hints" for Day 1 replacement? -why can't T-shirt manufacturers make them in a specific size, instead of a broad range -why can't 2-for-1 coupons be honored to purchase a single item for half-price -buying 10 items for 10 bucks is a ripoff, because it's usually due up for expiration Great...

-why can’t T-shirt manufacturers make them in a specific size, instead of a broad range

-why can’t 2-for-1 coupons be honored to purchase a single item for half-price

-buying 10 items for 10 bucks is a ripoff, because it’s usually due up for expiration

Great…

I would love to see more newspapers going for local cartoons. As for the two papers I get that carry comics, the Portland (Me.) Press Herald replaced FBOFW today with Pickles, but the Boston Globe is continuing to carry FBOFW. The New York Times, of course, continues to be a snob about comics. That is good news, Charles.
