The Denver Post stopped carrying Candorville as of March 1 but it may reinstate it if readers write in and ask them to keep it. When the Rocky Mountain News went out of business, the Denver Post absorbed all the RMN's comics, including Candorville. Now they've dropped many of the former RMN comics, including Candorville, possibly to see which ones the readers miss. If you're a Denver Post reader (and ONLY if you're a Denver Post reader or Denver resident please) write to comics@denverpost.com and politely ask them to keep Candorville. Tell them why they should keep it, and most importantly, give them location information (as specific as you're comfortable with) so they know you live in Denver. They're looking for your feedback, people, so give it to them. This is your chance to be heard. |
For some reason, this sounds ALL too real. I’ve taught school and this storyline, minus the Starbucks, often happened. Unfortunately, the real children I taught didn’t handle their dad leaving as well as Lemont. Those kids ended up in gangs or worse, but there were a few who were able to survive with a very sound character. I don’t know why some survive and some fall apart. It has to be an inner strength, I suppose. I was going to say, “Poor Lemont”, but no, I think he’s one of the survivors. At least, from my perspective as a teacher. Well, former teacher. Good strip!!! If I were still teaching, I’d be able to use it as a conversational opener and/or a topic of an essay on survival skills or on growing up strong and self-confident no matter what the earlier situation was.
