THINGS MISSING FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES: In preparation for stripping down its comics selection dramatically (losing "Cathy," "Judge Parker," and "Mary Worth," among others), the Atlanta Journal-Constitution did a survey of its readers about their comics preferences, and reports the data. A few tidbits:
  • Zits is the #1 favorite across all demographics
  • Doonesbury scores #8 most favorite, and #9 least favorite. Also making appearances on both lists--Pearls Before Swine, Brewster Rockit, Get Fuzzy, and Family Circus, in part due to generational divides.
Interesting data to be sure, and I'm assuming the AJC doesn't carry Gil Thorp, or it'd be all over the "bottom."
