    I used to read the Tribune-Herald for Dick Tracy, Amazing Spider-Man and (briefly in 1984) Steve Canyon, Buz Sawyer and Captain Easy.

    Back in 2018, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette went all-AMS in their comics with two exceptions. One was Bizarro (because co-creator Wayno is from Pittsburgh) and later Dustin (when they replaced Rob Rogers with Steve Kelley as their editorial cartoonist). By
    the end of September 2019, they brought back the KFS strips.

    Lee newspaper subscribers, you have a voice. Use it!

    Out of curiosity, does anybody have a Lee Sunday Comics section to see what their lineup looks like?

    Thanks D.D. Now I won't have to wait about a month for them to surface on newspapers.com.

    Some of the early articles I saw said that Close to Home would be in
    the SUnday print and Lio in the e-edition, but they swapped that around.

    Here are the strips that were removed from the Post-Dispatch Sunday
    edition (King Features unless marked U-Universal Syndicate):

    Breaking Cat News (U)
    Dilbert (U)
    Zits
    Non Sequitur (U)
    Mutts
    Blondie
    Funky Winkerbean
    Sally Forth
    Slylock Fox
    Hi and Lois
    The Family Circus
    Beetle Bailey
    Rhymes With Orange
    Mother Goose & Grimm

    I can't wrap my head around removing BCN and running fucking Marmaduke.
    Maybe Futurama is right and that will still be going in the year 3000.

    I hate to contradict Ted (Forth) but Lee Enterprises is not a comics
    provider for these papers. They are the owners of them, so they are
    dictating a consistent comics page to save money.
