The Rochester NY /Democrat and Chronicle/ has been a Gannett paper since
1928, when local boy Frank Gannett added it to the company he had
founded here in 1923. Today they changed their daily comics lineup.

New (9):
Baby Blues
Baldo
Born Loser
Crankshaft
Dennis the Menace
Frank and Ernest
Luann
Non Sequitur
Zits

Continuing (13):
Beetle Bailey
Blondie
Crabgrass
Family circus
For Better or For Worse
Garfield
Hagar
Jump Start
Marmaduke
Peanuts
Pearls Before Swine
Pickles
Ziggy

Out (8):
B.C.
Doonesbury
Fred Basset
Heathcliff
Rex Morgan
Rubes
Shoe
Wizard of Id

According to an article last week the new Sunday lineup will begin
February 4. The article spoke broadly about the /D&C/ comics selection
having changed over the years, and implied that the upcoming change
would save the paper money, but made no mention of the corporate mandate
that actually forced the revamp.
