When I pulled out the comics section of today's Sunday edition of the Kansas City Star, it looked a little odd. I shrugged, pulled off the inevitable Lasik ad flap, and started reading. Then I opened it up and realized that the middle page was missing. And most of the strips inside were tiny. Then I realized what was wrong with the shape of the section too...it was more than an inch narrower.
The Star went from 6 pages of comics to 4 and made the pages themselves smaller. At least three comics got dropped that I noticed, none added. Yowch. And this follows a recent price hike for anyone buying the paper outside of the KC five county area, too.
Looks like next week I start looking for a possible replacement Sunday paper (the local paper's Sunday edition has Monday's comics, and there's no Saturday paper, so I have to buy a different paper to get Sunday comics...of course, Opus is about the only one I can't get online, but I like having the coupons and crossword too).

A lot of comic companies are also putitng out TPB editions in tiny manga-sized books now... comics not meant to be read at manga size.
