Yesterday’s Foxtrot noted that creator Bill Amend will switch the strip to a “Sunday only” format starting Dec. 31 …
“After spending close to half of my life writing and drawing FoxTrot cartoons, I think it’s time I got out of the house and tried some new things,” said Amend. “I love cartooning and I absolutely want to continue doing the strip, just not at the current all-consuming pace. I’ve been blessed over the years with a terrific syndicate, patient newspaper clients, and more support from readers than I probably deserve, and I want to assure them all that while I’ll be now a less-frequent participant on the comics pages, I’ll continue to treat my visits as the special privilege they are.”

Have you READ FoxTrot lately? It’s a mercy killing.
Now, if only Tom Batiuk could be convinced….

Dan, I have to say I view comic strips like I view a radio station or TV show–I flip away from the strips that annoy me. I happen to still like Funky. And at the risk of being mocked by the joshreads.com kids, for the most part I still enjoy For Better or For Worse. Clearly when it comes to Batiuk, yours and my mileage vary.
