Imagine this: To fill the loss of the New York Post daily page of comics, if the New York Times decided to add to the local New York City edition (not the national edition) a daily comics page plus a Sunday comics section, what comic strips would you like to see in the NYT comics pages (must be strips not running in the New York Daily News currently!).
Here's my guesses for a possible NYT lineup of comics: Garfield, Classic Peanuts, Beetle Bailey, Heathcliff, Marmaduke, Prickily City, Animal Crackers, Mr. Boffo, Rhymes with Orange, Mallard Fillmore, Lio, Heart of the City, Bizarro, Dennis the Menace, Family Circus, Brewster Rockit, Stone Soup, Baby Blues, Pickles, Thatababy, Animal Crackers, Dick Tracy, The Amazing Spider-Man, Dustin, Dogs of C-Kennel, Over the Hedge, Non Sequitur, Real Life Adventures, Curtis, Reply All, Mike Du Jour, Baldo, Sally Forth, Rose is Rose, Shoe, The Middletons, Off the Mark, Bliss, and Take It From The Tinkersons; plus on Sundays: Fox Trot, Ask Shagg, U Can with Beakman, and the Sunday nature animal (non adventure) related Mark Trail strips.
(With this lineup it could give the Washington Post in the Washington, D.C. area a run for its money or something like that!)

Doesn't matter to me. I don't live in NYC - although I do get the

Sunday /Times/ delivered, which is a bargain since the subscription
includes unlimited digital access.
As I recall some years ago somebody (/NatLamp/?) did a feature on "what
kind of comic strip would the /NYT/ carry if the /NYT/ carried comic
strips?" Anybody else remember [more about] this?

Update: With daily Stone Soup ending, I'd pick Carpe Diem or Long Story Short for a daily NYT comics page candidate.
And if the NEw York Times had comics, why not negotiate for a revival of the 1970's Don Q comic strip the N
YT distributed with new stories and art and to follow the recent webcomic revivals of former newspaper comic strips My Cage and Bloom County?
