Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.

Peanuts distributor United Media closes down
The Wash. Post's Comic Riffs blog announced that United Media (or United Feature Syndicate, as I'd seen them credited on many of the comic strips under their sponsorship in my childhood) is closing down. Yes, that's right, the company that brought us Peanuts, Garfield and even Dilbert is no more. It's clearly another sad casualty of the slow demise of the newspaper comic strip.
