Is there any interest in not-quite-current strip lineups in this
thread? I've got a couple of late 1990s papers I could contribute.

Sure, why not. Especially if we can compare it to a current
line-up in the same paper.
The comic pages, as Laffin101 said elsewhere, are in a
continuous state of flux; despite some of us complaining
that it is always the same ol', same ol'. Unfortunately it
seems to be the new strips that are dropped and the old
standards keep showing up.

"A College Girl Named Joe" by Aaron Warner.
A google search comes up with very little about this
(maybe not so surprising is that most of the sites
referenced are porn sites).
I did, however, find this:
http://pub4.bravenet.com/forum/328907092/fetch/62227/
Seems this self-syndicated strip started around July, 2002
in the Battle Creek Enquirer.
Haven't found any samples though. Is it drawn in the same
style as his "Adventures of Aaron" strip from some years back?
Or does he go much more minimalist to accomodate the
dimensions of the daily strip fromat?
Is it meant to be a humor strip? adventure? soap?
D.D.Degg
DD DEGG CO
"Peanuts Fifty Years of Charles Schulz"
Is this just a different title for the regular "Classic Peanuts"
strips; or does it actually reprint different strips from the
entire catalog of "Peanuts"?
Personally, I think UFS would do better to go with the
Charlie Brown strips from the 50s and 60s.

Much more minimal than that strip (which I hadn't seen before). One word
of warning: people here liked to Jen Seng's big hands in Boondoks. She's
got nothing on Warner. I find the art to be kind of uneven, but it does
have its moments.
I ran across the comic book format in a shop a few months back, and that
listed all the papers it ran in at the time. Mostly Michigan papers -
maybe eight or ten. I seem to recall more than one student paper in the
list.
It's mostly humor, with a bit of soap thrown in. He just finished a
several-week story in which Joe ditches her controlling, older, single
father boyfriend. Actually it was handled kind of well. He wasn't
portrayed as a complete ogre; his assholery was pretty subtle, at least
until the final confrontation. I found myself giving a quiet cheer when
she finally gathered herself up to quit the jerk. That says something for
the writing.
Joe and her roommate Monya are the main characters. Joe tends toward the
befuddled, trying to manage her classes, her social life and her money
woes, while Monya is out every night with and endless succession of dates
and still manages straight A's. So far, the only continuing soap-style
narratives have been with Joe.
There's also Dave and Dave, a pair of perma-students, and an RA whose name
I don't recall. A local news reporter shows up from time to time, and
there is a recurring professor character. There's also a back-biting
female student who hasn't shown up in a while, and Joe's recent boyfriend
and his daughter, who now seem to be out of the picture.
Eh. I read it, and obviously I keep going back to it after a couple of
years. When I'm out of town, though, I'm not devestated that I can't find
it online. A pretty good strip. I'd like to see the art get tighter, and
the humor can fall flat. Sometimes it does hit, though, and I was
intrigued by this latest continuing story line. I think it was well done,
and I'd like to see more of that in the mix.
Do any of the other Michigan readers here read this?

Michael Shonk
has hated newspapers all my life. Despite the variety and number of
different newspapers mentioned here my favorite comic appears only once
(in the 1999 LA Times), and not at all in any current newspaper. If I
did not have the internet (at myyahoo.com page) I would not be able to
read Over The Hedge unless I move to Glen Falls,NY Monday.
I have always been disappointed by the sameness of comics pages, from
year to year, from city to city.
Michael
Michael Shonk
The Rocky Mountain News uses the title as follows...
PEANUTS
FIFTY YEARS OF CHARLES SCHULZ /unitedmedia.com/comics/peanuts/50th
It is different than the "Peanuts Classic". On 10/7 the Rocky Mountain
version featured Linus coming home from a "brisk fall walk" and sitting
in front of a "warm TV". While the Orange County Register ran the
"Peanuts Classics" that day which featured Sally reading a school report
on "autumn when the leaves begin to fall".
The two strips differed in size as well. The Rocky Mountain version was
much wider.
BTW, the reason I have two papers on the same day from different parts
of the country is I was traveling that day for my annual family visit to
Louisiana. I had the choice between a stopover in Houston or Denver. I
took Denver this year since I got the Houston comics last year. I am
still searching for the comic I have not read yet...I hope my local
comic shop has the comic A College Girl Named Joe...

"Over the Hedge" was one of the handful of strips dropped from the L.A.
Times in 2002, when they rearranged the comics pages:

n1-E421B2.08383114102002%40newstest2.earthlink.net
But the fact that it was once in the L.A. Times couldn't have hurt its
prospects for being made into an animated film:
