Wuthering Heights Makes the Naughty List

Monday, February 8th, 2010

For being the kind of story that makes me say, “Bah!”, Wuthering Heights makes the naughty list.

I’ve just suffered through the 1939 film edition of this Gothic romance, and the only further thing I have to say is this: “Bring on Jane Austen.”

The Gazette Makes the Naughty List

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

For dropping the Retail Comic Strip to add a new strip, Dustin, the Cedar Rapids Gazette is added to my Naughty List.

I certainly don’t object to running new comics. However, rather than dropping the witty Retail to make room, the Gazette has ample other choices.

For instance, any of the following strips, listed in no particular order, are imminently replaceable.

  • The Family Circus
  • Blondie
  • Pluggers
  • Garfield
  • Hagar
  • Dennis the Menace
  • Beetle Bailey
  • Sherman’s Lagoon
  • Lockhorns

Removing these would leave ample room to keep some quality established comics and still introduce us to some new strips.
