Update, I mentioned in a different thread after the daily Stone Soup ended the Northwest Herald replaced it with Frazz, and most recently, the Crystal Lake (IL) Northwest Herald switched to a tabloid size newspaper format and revamped its daily comics dropping Hi and Lois, The Duplex, and The Grizzwells; and adding in The Born Loser.

As of early 2020: For the Sunday Crystal Lake, Illinois Northwest Herald lineup: Following the ending of Ask Shagg it is replaced by Caption It! and following the ending of The Pajama Diaries it is replaced by Macundo. Heck, 100% rerun mode with no word on the ending fate Get Fuzzy is still there in the Sunday Northwest Herald comics!

And in recent years Zits took over Soup to Nutz and DeFlocked took over Non Sequitur in the daily NW Herald comic pages.

And as of late 2020 in the Sunday NW Herald comics, Frazz replaced the cancelled Stone Soup and Daddy Daze replaced Macundo.

As of January 2024 (Since the daily McHenry County, Illinois Northwest Herald is Tuesday-Saturday and no longer publishes a Monday paper), there's some changes in the daily comics lineup: Dropped are Herb and Jaamal (It replaced Dilbert), Big Nate, DeFlocked, The Born Loser, Luann, Grizzwells, and Crankshaft. New daily additions are Archie (reruns with 2024 copyright), B.C., and Speed Bump.
