June 10 begins a 12-week sabbatical for Garry Trudeau and Doonesbury (for those of you keeping score, it's sabbatical #4). Most papers will run Doonesbury reruns during this time but some newspapers will want to use this time to try out new strips.
I expect the Tampa Bay Times to continue running Doonesbury. Not sure about the Tampa Tribune (which ran "Red & Rover" during "Doonesbury"'s last sabbatical in 2008).
The New York Daily News (which never runs repeat strips explaining the lack of "Get Fuzzy" strips as detailed in this group) definitely will not run Doonesbury. Whether they try out a new strip or not is anyone's guess.
If your newspaper is running Doonesbury or auditioning new strips please post here.

The Washington Post is replacing Doonesbury with one of its own.

Fort Knox, from the Washington Post Writers Group, will run in
Doonesbury's spot until Trudeau returns with new strips:

The Yakima (Wash.) Herald-Republic will also replace Doonesbury
starting tomorrow. But the link keeps timing out at the moment, so
I don't know what strip they're running in Doonesbury's spot.

Now that I can see the Yakima post, they'll be running a few strips in place of Doonesbury. It starts with Pearls Before Swine.

More Doonesbury News.
The Duluth News Tribune is not running Doonesbury. It usually runs in their Editorial page. It won't be replaced.

Elsewhere.
The Chicago Tribune has replaced Doonesbury with Animal Crackers.
The New York Daily News isn't running Doonesbury but did not replace it. The Daily News is down two comics this week with "Get Fuzzy" in reruns.
The Philadelphia Inquirer is running two strips in place of Doonesbury (They've dropped Blondie in the interim). Right now, the choices are Frazz and Dogs of C-Kennel.
Doonesbury is still running in the following papers: Tampa Bay Times, Tampa Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Orlando Sentinel.
I'll check more when I come back from work later.

The Ventura County (CA) Star has replaced Doonesbury with Candorville

I don't think this is an audition, though, more of replacing it with
what some might consider just another liberal comic strip to run in that
spot (they normally run Doonesbury and MF at the bottom of the editorial
page).

No, Blondie's still there...they've moved it from its usual second spot on the right hand page to a spot near the bottom of the left-hand page.

I don't think the local paper, the Record, ever ran it. It's probably
way too American to be seen as a viable strip for Waterloo County.
