Wow, you blew it on the diversity front -- scrapping the strip which featured a black family and  the Hispanic (Latino?) one. I'm neither black nor Hispanic and I liked those strips. But you kept Mutts which is pretty much a zero on the comic scale. The animal rights lobby is strong in Eugene, I guess. (For the record, I have a black kitty who is much cuter than Mooch)  And the other strips you kept --- that ugly panel Close to Home. The ancient Peanuts (I've never understood what people see in it.) The marginal Wizard of Id and the over the margin B.C.
I am glad to see the return of Get Fuzzy. (Has Darby Conley recovered his health or whatever? Or are these "classics"?) The two new strips show some promise, so I'll withhold judgment on them.
The new puzzles so far earn a resounding "meh."  Please, please don't mess with the old puzzles.
