Denver Post Purges Comics

The Denver Post, in its continuing commitment to reducing the quality of the service it provides its customers, purged about fifteen twelve comics from its weekly offerings starting today. It had cut 22 of them on March 1, 2010. Repeating its last effort, the announcement of the cuts didn't identify the specific strips cut. The cuts appear to include:

Bizarro
Brevity
Drabble
Doonesbury
Dustin
F-Minus
Frazz
Free Range
Freshly Squeezed (despite the fact that it is home grown)
Funky Winkerbean
Heart of the City
The Knight Life
Non Sequitur
Overboard
Scary Gary

Any errors in this list are attributable to the Denver Post which failed to list them itself.

Various Two puzzles and games have also been cut:

Wuzzles
Your Move (chess)

Just one more step on to vanishing: switching from broadsheet to tabloid format. When that happens, there's less than 12 months to go.

The Washington Post has also covered the story.
