Robert is right -- the editors don't see them. They're put on a page by someone in the backshop, along with Ann Landers and the Jumble. It's a page the newsroom doesn't have to deal with. Now, a bright backshop person might have caught this -- they've saved the editorial bacon more than once. But the page might have been done a few days earlier, at a point when the comic didn't seem important.

Historical Comic Book
Here's what I've been working on. In recognition of Decatur County Indiana's bicentennial, here are just a few images from a 42 page historical comic book written by John Pratt, Bicentennial Coordinator, with drawings by me.

Holy cow, I'll say. Somebody's asleep at the switch!
I'm pretty sure that newspaper editors never actually read their own comics. They just look on them as space fillers with squiggly lines in them.
It's enough to make me long for some yellow journalism...
