Denver Post cuts a whopping 13 strips — including ‘Doonesbury,’ ‘Non Sequitur’ “Bizarro,” “Brevity,” “Dustin,” “F-Minus,” “Frazz,” “Heart of the City,” “The Knight Life,” “Non Sequitur,” “Overboard,” “Rhymes with Orange” and “Scary Gary.”
Nothing like the morning paper, a cup of coffee, and the morning constitutional... Printed media is rapidly becoming too expensive to maintain and not popular enough to attract the next generation. By show of hands (virtual though they be) who will admit taking their smart phone, tablet, or laptop in to the outhouse over the newspaper? I'd rather get the news as it is right now than a day old version of what is going on around the globe. The only exception that comes to mind is when the Sears "wish book" runs out in the three holer at my parents farm (if you don't know what that means then you probably have had indoor plumbing your entire life).
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

I still like to start my day with a hot cuppa and a paper. Yeah, then I check news on line too, but old habits die hard. I admit, this one will flatline soon.
This many years later I'm still on the USN's timeline in the morning; SSSSS (PM me if you don't know what that means and I'll tell you, bring a signed permission slip if you are under 18 years of age) and get on the road in 15 minutes or less. I want my news pre-sorted and in the order I want to read it so I can get through it quickly.

Yossa, I remember it like it was yesterday, but it was 16 years ago. I still get up early but my heart does not start untill I am on my second pot of coffee.
