Synchronicity in the News

Cidu Bill on May 4th 2009



This one’s from yesterday, and only loosely related, but I like it:arlo-newspaper.gif

You can certainly understand why syndicated cartoonists are leading the “save our newspapers” bandwagon: Until a different business model for the distribution of their work comes along, this is their livelihood. And of course from the readers’ point of view, it will be a poorer world indeed without Arlo, Frazz, and so many of our other friends.

I personally look at this issue from both ends: I discontinued by own Crimeweek column in November after losing more than 3/4 of the newspapers carrying it. Nobody dropped the column: the papers themselves went out of business.

Just a Reminder…

Because my backlog of comics is smaller than it’s been in a while, I’m not uploading CIDUs on weekends anymore. Since I still want to update the site daily, the LOL list has been moved from Monday to Sunday, and the Ewww Files from Friday to Saturday (both at noon, Eastern time)

Daniel Brindis: I work in and follow politics rather closely but cannot for the life of me figure this out.
