But I don't subscribe to a newspaper, and therein lies the problem. The only halfway decent daily was (I stress was) the L.A. Times, but a subscription was very expensive and I only read some 10 or 15 pages and threw the rest out.

Still, I suspect the Times' comic age is lower than many papers. Whenever I pick up a copy I find a couple of strips I've never heard of. Unfortunately all seem cut from the same cloth: two or three oddly-underdrawn characters talk for two panels to set up a mild punch line in the third. Maybe if I read a paper regularly I'd warm up to one of these strips, but most seem to have achieved in a year or two the tedium it took Snuffy Smith nearly a century to achieve.
