Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for May 29, 2020

I will NOT take one of many potential political comments!

I’ll just say that I cancelled my subscription to my local paper because it was getting very thin and there were more and more ads and less and less news.

No, you are not. You are on a screen.

RJ no electric required to use this version of media !

That is shameless self deprecation and you know it.

They have gone past the fourth wall into the 5 dimension!

They actually found a paper that carries their strip?

Actually it was less and less ads that made the newspaper thinner. They went digital which contributes to the shrinking number of newspapers and poorer reporting of news. The burden falls on TV news and their 1-2 minute segments.

The boomer generation is probably the last one to read actual newspapers. I expect my local paper which I only get on line will go completely electronic in 10 years or less, perhaps 5 or less.

How do we know they’re fictional? What if they’re real, and it’s we readers who are fictional?

I went digital to eliminate the huge amount of paper that had to be recycled. Now I can read many digital papers for wider news coverage .

It’s all part of post-modernism.
