I know the Daytona Beach News-Journal used to carry 2 Sunday strips in their Sunday My Week section - Rudy Park and Bizarro, but dropped these two for good in early 2015.

After Kit 'n Carlyle ended, Reality Check took its place in the Daytona Beach News-Journal daily comics.

A change in the Sunday Daytona Beach News-Journal comics as of January 3, 2016: Out went the Sunday classic Mickey Mouse and Sunday classic Donald Duck comics (Maybe Creators.com lost the rights after 4 years?) and added to Sunday's are Heathcliff and Doodles.

Yeah, looks like both strips are done. Also in Florida, the Melbourne-based Florida Today has replaced Mickey with "Classic Rugrats".

Other changes in other newspapers:

The Culpeper Star-Exponent daily comics page is changing -
"Take it from the Tinkersons," "Arlo & Janis," "Frank & Earnest,"
"Snuffy Smith," "Born Loser," "Dog Eat Doug" and "Dustin"
will be replaced by "Dilbert," "Hagar the Horrible," "Non Sequitur," "Peanuts," "Pickles," and "Shoe."

They explain -
The new 10-panel lineup reveals a mixture of nostalgia
for some of the more beloved comic strips ever published
("Blondie," "Beetle Bailey," "Peanuts")
as well as a desire for some newer, more satirical, offerings
("Non Sequitur," "Dilbert," "Shoe.")

Those "newer" offerings debuted in the 1990s, 80s, and 70s.

Elsewhere the Charlottesville Daily Progress
replaces two new strips with two reprint strips.
"Big Nate" and "Pearls Before Swine" will be replaced
by "For Better or For Worse" and "Peanuts."

In Dover, New Hampshire the Sunday comics section is
now presented to readers in a new format.
"...your comics, puzzles and TV listings are now all to be
found in Seacoast FunDay, a 40-page tab-size magazine that
will be inserted each week into Seacoast Sunday."

That seems like a good idea, though I hope the TV listings
don't take up too many pages.

They are combining with Foster's Sunday Citizen, and so...
"Longtime Seacoast Sunday readers will be pleased to find
more than a dozen new comics, which had previously only run
in Foster's Sunday Citizen. Foster's readers will also find
some strips that previously had run only in Seacoast Sunday.
The only strips that did not make the cut were Flash Gordon
and Skylock Comics for Kids"

> Other changes in other newspapers:

The Lake County Record-Bee drops
Phoebe and Her Unicorn
and replaces it with The Duplex.
http://www.record-bee.com/arts-and-entertainment/20160104/new-comic-strip-joins-lineup

After a great start I have notice more than a few
letters to the editor complaining about Phoebe.

That's too bad.
It's a decent enough comic strip
and, I think, an excellent one for younger readers.

Hi, I was looking for a comic strip in the Daytona Beach News- Journal about a rural family. I can't remember the name. When I left Florida, the story line was the elderly father had been put in jail and his sons were trying to divise a plan to break him out. What is the name of this comic strip?
Thank you,
Jackie

That is the current storyline of "Gasoline Alley".

Relating to the recent "Non Sequitur" mess, the Daytona Beach News-Journal has announced the Sunday edition will be replaced by "Pickles".
