St. Louis readers, write to the P-D now

The newspaper bloodletting continues. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is, like most papers, physically shrinking in order to save money on newsprint and ink. To do so, they had to cut four comics, and one of them is Candorville. Starting Monday, you won’t see Candorville on the P-D’s comics page.

If you want them to return Candorville to the comics page, you’ve got to write to them or call them and let them know. When a paper cuts Candorville, reader feedback almost always restores it to the paper. If you want to write, send an e-mail to toon@post-dispatch.com. Phone calls often work even better. If you’re the phone type, you can call 314-340-8222.

Make yourself heard, and politely let them know what you want. In times like this, papers want to keep their readers happy.
