  • So, how are you classifying the Mike du Jour replacement reruns?

    From D.D.Degg@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 14 17:31:47 2023
    For those of you fixated on rerun comic strips
    how are you classifying the Mike du Jour replacements?

    Go Comics pulled the original strips scheduled for this week
    and then replaced them with 2020 reruns. https://www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/2023/06/14/gocomics-pulls-mike-du-jour-strips/

    As far as is known print newspapers weren't offered alternatives.

    If I had known sooner, I would have pulled the hardcopy before recycling today. As it is, I've asked my elderly neighbors to clip the strips beginning on Monday and I can provide scans if desired.

    DD's Daily Cartoonist link points to a short article, with a link to the original strips on Arcamax:
