*By Neil Macaulay Santa Monica*

I’m very disappointed to see you’ve yanked the cartoon “Edge City” without any warning or consultation with your readers! I looked forward to reading that every day. It encourages people to get the paper to read the ongoing saga.

How can you be so arbitrary and dictatorial? The new cartoons are dull and not amusing. They are also unpleasantly drawn. Why not have a vote and show some consideration for your readers’ tastes and not try to force your tastes onto us? “Edge City” was interesting because there was an ongoing story with insights into the human condition and the Jewish way of life. It was refreshing to have a cartoon about Jewish people. What have you got against it?

Get rid of “Garfield” — too twee and cutie pie. Just for old ladies who love pussy cats. Ditto for “Dog eat Doug.”
