The Fayetteville Observer was a big winner in our recent Sunday comics project.
We were tasked with creating a new section that consolidated 11 Gannett newspapers throughout the Carolinas to support efficiencies in print production.
As a result of the nearly 90,000 votes cast on 13,000 ballots, this newspaper adds six new comic strips, while losing just one, Peanuts, which years ago stopped producing new strips.
Because of their overwhelming popularity, these Top 10 strips were grandfathered in for all newspapers: B.C., Beetle Bailey, Blondie, Born Loser, Close to Home, Dilbert, Family Circus, For Better or Worse, Hagar the Horrible and Garfield.
