Thanks!
What I dislike about moving the strips around to another part of the paper is they would never announce that they've moved the strips. It just looked as if the papers decided to cancel the strips.
This happened with a television show I always watched after school -- Star Blazers. The Yamato was about to reach Iscandar when WGN moved the show from the afternoon slot to something like 6:30 in the morning! By the time I found out when the show was on, they were already on the way back to Earth and a major character had died! ARG!
