LET US KNOW HOW YOU LIKE NEW COMICS

Today we introduce our new comics-page lineup, which includes ``Dilbert,'' ``Wit of the World,'' ``Sally Forth'' and ``Mixed Media.'' These replace ``The Far Side,'' which ended when cartoonist Gary Larson decided to retire; ``Beetle Bailey'' and ``Shoe,'' which still can be seen in our Sunday color comics pages; and ``Andy Capp.'' Beetle, Shoe and Andy all had relatively low ratings in our last reader survey.

We hope you enjoy these new panels. In a few weeks, we will ask you to respond to a survey about the overall content of our comics pages. But in the meantime, we'd like to hear from you. Call our reader comment line at 981-3173. InfiNet subscribers or those with other access to the Internet may E-mail Roanoke Times & World-News Managing Editor Bill Warren at BWARRENINFI.NET.
