The Washington Post is replacing Opus with The Knight Life, sez Michael Cavna. Hooray!

The Seattle Times has dropped “Cathy” and moved “Doonesbury” from the editorial pages to replace it starting Oct 27. No poll was conducted(!), they just did it.

The Times has recently cut way back on their editorial pages, printing only one or two letters a day and directing readers to their web site for more. What used to be a two page editorial spread is now one page, so maybe they wanted to recover the space Doonesbury was using?

Like what I see of Pagelow’s new strip. Enjoyed his “Green Planet” until it ended.

And nice to see yet another local strip, even if its created by the staffer at the paper.

The Boston Globe launched a re-designed daily comics section last week, adding CUL-DE-SAC, THE PAJAMA DIARIES, and FRAZZ, and dropping MALLARD FILMORE. The daily strips now appear in color.

The Sunday comics were unchanged this week, though I’m hoping that when OPUS ends they’ll add the Sunday CUL-DE-SAC to the lineup.

I noticed when the Chicago Tribune redesigned their newspaper, they had already dropped Opus from the Sunday Comics effective October 5th. Tundra and Pickles replaced Opus in the Trib.
