Yesterday Murdoch announced the demise of 'the Daily', the app only newspaper.
Admittedly, the Daily was very bad and I was not surprised no one bought it. It will be interesting to see how the Dandy fairs. I will get the free first edition.
A little sad that a paper comic doesn't seem to mean as much to the kids as it used to when I was small, but I guess things move on. IMO website access and proper paper publications are not the same. Wonder how they will put the free gift in, "this week's issue", going forward :-) Probably just another simple game on the website I guess.
I work on the amazing section of one of our biggest retailers and can tell you that comics are alive and well. We sell loads of them - but not the Dandy or the Beano.
Zeuhl, you missed out beardie and muesli-eating. I shouldn't wonder, either, if the comic closed because of the combined efforts of Red Ed Millipede, His Tonyness and their union paymasters!
