Santa Rosa Press Democrat considering adding Cul de Sac to current comics page

Read the story here - 
DD says, "The paper is giving comic fans the choice of six comic strips – Arctic Circle, Crabgrass, Cul de Sac, Dumplings, Macanudo, and Sherman's Lagoon."

My comment on the Daily Cartoonist site is "As much as I love him, and his strip, there's no way Richard Thompson's Cul de Sac should be considered for this. It's not even a zombie comic strip. He's been gone for years now, and the comics page should belong to living cartoonists."
