We're changing the comics lineup for Burlington County Times
As a trusted source of local news and content in communities across South Jersey, we continuously evaluate our content and how to best serve our audiences. Comics have historically evolved to reflect the culture and tastes of the times. After surveying and listening to our loyal readers, we have decided to refresh our comics offering with an updated package that incorporates beloved favorites.
So, what does it mean for your daily comics?
We’ve put together a catalog of fan favorites, ever-popular strips, and regular reads that we're confident will bring a smile to your face and add a few extra chuckles to your morning routine. Here's the full lineup you'll see in the Burlington County Times Sunday through Friday: Blondie; Zits; Beetle Bailey; Family Circus; Hagar the Horrible; Dennis the Menace; Garfield; Peanuts; For Better or Worse; Baby Blues; Pickles; Pearls Before Swine; Jump Start; Ziggy; Non Sequitur; Crabgrass; and Marmaduke.
You’re already reading some of these every day as they’re already part of our collection. And some may be new to you. Of course, it does mean we’ll be retiring some of the strips you’ve been enjoying.
On Mondays through Fridays, the titles we're removing are: Mutts; Frank and Ernest; The Born Loser; Shoe; Rhymes with Orange; Herman; Real Life Adventures; Luann; The Duplex; The Phantom; Adam @Home; Doonesbury; Curtis; The Argyle Sweater; and In the Bleachers.
Your additions are: Blondie; Zits; Family Circus; Beetle Bailey; Dennis the Menace; Peanuts; For Better of Worse; Baby Blues; Pickles; Pearls Before Swine; Jump Start; Ziggy; Non-Sequitur; and Marmaduke.
On Sundays, you'll also get to read Fox Trot along with all of the titles listed above.
Your Sunday line-up is changing, too. To make room for all the additions, we're removing the following: Marvin; Shoe; The Born Loser; Slylock Fox; Ripley's; On the Fastrack; Curtis; Real Life Adventures; Heathcliff; Phantom; Luann; Frank and Ernest; Herman; and Rose is Rose.
The new comics lineup will launch Monday, October 2, in the newspaper and in the eNewspaper. Readers can also check out https://www.burlingtoncountytimes.com/comics to view additional comics.
We hope you continue to enjoy your old favorites and the new additions make you smile and become favorites. That's what comics are all about, after all.
