Kudos to LA Times

LA Times drops daily Garfield strip.

On the flip side, they recently added Mallard Fillmore, so this only evens out their karma a bit. Great quote in the article describing everyone's lasagna-loving, Monday-hating quadraped as "a strip produced by a committee, devoid of originality, devoid of guts, a strip cynically DESIGNED to be inoffensive and bad, on the theory that public tastes are insipid."

The only dailies I follow anymore are Boondocks (a bit better lately, if still uneven), Doonesbury (losing a step or two, though I'm enjoying the BD-as-Gulf-War-amputee storyline), Gasoline Alley (I don't have to justify it!) and the brilliant online strip Achewood.
