Giving this a bump.

Just saw in the Tampa Bay Times that beginning next week, nearly all their comics will be moving to the exclusive e-Edition of the paper (which in itself is ironic given that the Times has only been printing actual newspapers on Wednesdays and Sundays
for almost two years).

Remaining in the actual paper will be Blondie, Peanuts and Pickles. That's one strip in constant reruns, another that is over 90 years old (and briefly got moved to the e-Paper before its' elderly fanbase complained) and one that mixes new strips with
reruns.

There will be no comics-related changes to the Sunday paper.

What if Pickles ends sometime in 2022? Will there be a replacement like Garfield or Luann?
