I happen to enjoy reading the “…two comics pages…” each Sunday. In fact, I look forward to pulling them from the rest of the paper and reading them before going to church. Accordingly, I plan on dropping my Sunday paper subscription. By dropping the comics, I believe the KC Star has made a sad business decision. Also, I don’t remember hearing about, or seeing anything in writing, stating the comics were to be dropped effective October 7, 2007.

No funnies huh? Well, good luck in keeping your subscribers! I know several people such as myself will not even go to the stands or buy in the stores as soon as they find this out!! This must have been a decision made at 2AM in the morning by a bunch of old people who are not savvy to the Internet. A warning of this upcoming or a poll of your subscribers might have been a wise decision?!?! Most of your “news” is on at 4, 5, 6 PM as well as 10 not to mention the morning news shows. The Internet has all your “news” as well, there is not much that you offer that cannot be found on Internet sites. I can think of no reason to continue to subscribe to or pick up your overpriced
newspaper! Maybe go to a better newspaper (and there are plenty) who does or does not have the funnies either, if there is something one cannot live without???
See ya’!!!

The Baltimore Sun had been doing this for years…knocking comics out of their Sunday section to replace them with ad space. The section itself looked to be the same size, but the content had dwindled. So I dropped the subscription entirely two years ago and never looked back.

My husband and I just went through every piece of paper searching for the comics in the Sunday paper today. He is visibly upset and made the statement that “Everyone needs a little humor to start the day”. We have been subscribers to the Kansas City Star for over 30 years.
Every once and a while the carrier forgets to include the comic section. We were just sure that this was the case today. “That’s just not excusable!”, my husband just called out as I was writing this complaint.

Missing Sunday comics in The Oregonian happened to me so often I started looking to make sure they were there before I purchased it.

‘course, you can’t do that if you get home delivery.

Be sure to call the paper and complain! They should be good today, since Christmas is Tuesday.

Dear Editor:
The Kansas City Star has been a part of my life for 70+ years. My grandfather read the comic strip “Cuddles and Tuckie” to me.
And now I can no longer receive the daily paper, only the Sunday edition.
I read every comic on the pages as well as several other columnist’s work.

I received a phone call which said that I would receive a letter explaining how to find my favorite articles, comics and puzzles on the internet. I never saw that letter and now I am floundering around this web site trying to find the material that I like. Please help.
Thank you,
Carol Cummings
