They dropped FoxTrot for Opus? I like both strips, but overall I like FoxTrot better.
Regardless, are you telling me none of the 10 dailies they dropped had a Sunday counterpart to axe? Even if you figure each new title evenly replaced the old ones’ Sundays and Dailies, they only brought in 9 replacements… weird.

The new ones are so bad I will not read them.
I hope you will reconsider your choices>
Thank you for allowing me to express my thoughts.
