Comments on: ‘L.A. Times’ Gets Heat for Comics Page Changes http://talltalefeatures.com/2010/02/04/l-a-times-gets-heat-for-comics-page-changes/ Tall Tale Features and its official broadcast, Tall Tale Radio!

The papers may survive in the end, but they will be so diminished that they may as well have died. Comics could be something that brings in more/younger readers, but editors just see comics as another expense. The comics page will go away, I think, as papers continue to scale back to make ends meet. Readers like the IPad may save papers eventually, but I suspect that the comics page will be gone from most large papers before that happens.

My in-laws subscribe to the times, and they always save the comics pages for me. What they hell is wrong with the papers? They've forgotten just how powerful the comics page is. Sad. *taps playing* It really is awful. My in-laws subscribe to the times, and they always save the comics pages for me. What they hell is wrong with the papers?
