One thing Completely different: Paper Provides a Comics Web page

Welcome to a brand new period for Edmond Life & Leisure, your domestically owned neighborhood newspaper.
On Web page 18 of this week’s version, we started a brand new function, the comics web page.
It’s a transfer we’ve thought-about for a lot of months and one which we expect you, the reader, will get pleasure from. Many informal followers of Life & Leisure know we often tackle some heady matters, starting from gross sales tax elections to a day by day police arrest report. We even have a commentary web page, which additionally covers among the exhausting hitting information and points going through our city, state and nation.
However every so often it’s most likely not a nasty concept to step again and luxuriate in among the lighter aspect of life.
That’s what the comedian web page provides.
Writer Ray Hibbard, earlier than digressing into the etymology of “see you within the humorous papers,” notes that the new effort wasn’t without hiccups:
As you could have observed on our entrance web page, we now carry comics in Edmond Life & Leisure. As our editor, Steve Gust, wrote we now have been contemplating them for a number of months. What he was good sufficient to not say is that I made the primary syndicated provider of comedian strips mad throughout the negotiations and so they refused to do enterprise with us. I used to be not imply or something however did have a sure degree of expectation for service. They despatched me an e-mail and mentioned we’re closing your account solely two days after they opened it. “We certain confirmed them,” was the remark from Mr. Gust.
I licked my wounds for a number of weeks earlier than we moved on to the subsequent provider of sketch materials. This time I let our ready editor do the negotiations. It labored tremendous and the method went off with out a hitch.
As you see King Features Syndicate was the subsequent provider.
