Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 05, 2015

And that’s why I’m reading them online

Who these days still reminds the comics in an actual, non-online newspaper?

Newspaper comics were so much fun.It was easier for the alligators to get loose when they are all on the same page.

And you learned about sharing. Our paper had two sections of Sunday comics.

This is why you go to Camp Toonaway.

Yup, sonny, those were the good old days! Real comic strips in real newspapers, and at a legible size! And every Sunday had a whole big section of full-color comics!Now I read them exclusively online. In fact, I haven’t bought a print-edition newspaper in several years….

All our favorites are here, but we do get the paper on-line for the news – and the comics.

I get the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newspaper everyday. There is a pretty good comics section but they don’t have Cul-De-Sac , Scary Gary, or Pooch Cafe. Doonesbury is so small in the paper, I’d have to use a magnifying glass to read it.

Try GoComics, that’s a pretty good site! :)

Be happy Petey. I never had that option when I was a kid.

I started coming here to read the comics when I cancelled my newspaper subscription because the newspaper was too biased.

Perhaps referencing other comics such as: Mutts (maybe Garfield?), Thatababy, Blondie (Dagwood’s sandwich), Pearls Before Swine, and something drawn by Keith Knight (he draws his comics with a laundry marker). Any other thoughts?

Personally I prefer comics online. The colors are so much more vivid. Plus I can mark my favorites!

I see the paper at my barber shop, and if I have a couple of people ahead of my, I’ll read the comics. They are smaller, paler, and fewer than I read on line. They are all in color now, where they were still black and white back when I subscribed. All of their comics I read here or Comicskingdom.com

I subscribe to the local paper to help pay for all the newspaper-based features I read online. Like the comics.

Oh Petey, the horror! say I, as I read the strip on-line.

I subscribe to GoComics for the same reason I subscribe to two newspapers; the local weekly, which is the only place to get the small-town news for where I live, and the NY Times, which carries no comics. The reason is that I want the comic strip artists to be able to make a living so they will keep drawing the strips, and I want real, accurate, investigative journalism to survive. Without it, accurate information about what’s going on nationally and around the world will become virtually inaccessible.

I read the Tampa Bay Times (gag – formerly St. Petersburg Times) comics, which are pretty good, but some of my favorites, like “Cul de Sac” and “Jump Start” are missing. I read http://www.seattlepi.com/comics-and-games/fun/ for “Between Friends,” “Crankshaft,” “Mutts” on weekdays, and “Bizarro,” so that I can see it better and read the comments. The Sunday New York Times provides excellently-written news, but read slowly, and it generally piles up over the months. During the tourist season here, I have to drive further and further afield to find a copy that hasn’t been hoovered up by the time I get to it. Don’t want to subscribe, because I’d be inundated by all kinds of offers. BTW, in my experience, newsprint doesn’t come off on stuff like it used to. How long has it been since some of you read a newspaper, or are your papers still operating with mid-1900’s machinery?

What a pest Alice is.
