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

Press Democrat Adding Two Strips

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."
