Thanks for the comics
Thank you Concord Monitor for printing three full pages of comics in last Saturdays’ Monitor.
Since ending their Sunday paper 16 months ago, the Monitor has added the Sunday (color) comics to the usual Saturday group. With no recent Friday paper (4th of July holiday) the Saturday paper had a 3third full page of comics added.
Some of us funny-page-lovers read the comics first, followed by the sports page, and after a deep breath, the front page. It’s better for one’s morning mood. So far the current administration has not gone after political cartoonists.
If they do, they’ll be no better than the Ayatollahs (remember the fatal Charlie Hebdo attacks in France 10 years ago). The Iranian government went after a cartoon portrayal of Mohamed that displeased them in the French Charlie Hebdo publication. So it’s wonderful to get 7 full comic pages per week even if there’s no paper on Sundays and some holidays. We devoted comics readers can now keep timely monitoring of our sense of humor and the sense of humor of our neighbors, our fellow citizens and our government.Great job Concord Monitor.
