Newspaper strips continue decline

Another example of how the newspaper comic strip is becoming extinct: the Little Orphan Annie strip is being canceled. It's actually the second time it's happened: it first ran from 1924 to 1968, originally ending when creator Harold Gray passed away, and was revived in the late 1970s, continuing until now. But it certainly did plunge into obscurity all these years. Though I had read it in my childhood, I rarely thought of it for a long time after, and certainly didn't see it on many newspaper websites, and in the end, barely 20 carried it.

And this is another sad sign of how newspaper strips are reaching their twilight.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
