Mail Tribune asking readers which comic ‘clunkers’ to dump
Skip to commentsThe Mail Tribune (Medford, OR), is asking its readers which comic strip “clunkers” they should dump.
The process of picking, or replacing, comic strips is highly sophisticated: If we get enough complaints about a particular strip, we look around to see if we can find something better. If we decide to replace a strip, everyone in the process goes into a witness-protection program for up to six months to avoid the wrath of the seven people who actually liked the strip that we had the audacity to dump.
Hunter says he still has to look over his shoulder after suggesting that the “Peanuts” strip be replaced. After all, the artist, Charles Schulz, had only been dead for seven years at the time, hardly a suitable mourning period.
As to your description of some of our comic strips as “clunkers,” well, Walter, beauty and clunker is in the eye of the beholder. Nevertheless, if you’re serious about demanding change, you could send your suggestions to Hunter via his e-mail, bhunter@mailtribune.com, or by snail mail to him at the Mail Tribune Newsroom, P.O. Box 1108, Medford, OR 97501. He said to tell you, however, that threats of violence do not improve your chances of having your favorite comic added to the daily routine.
