COMICS SURVEY

ILLUSTRATION: GRAPHIC

For something intended to be funny, the comics page is serious

business. And we at the Daily Break have received enough nasty

letters to think twice about mucking around with the important stuff

without asking readers first.

So. Are you mad about ``Mixed Media''? Bored by ``Blondie''?

Puzzled by ``Peanuts''? Gaga for ``Garfield''?

Let us know. We'll use the information you give us in considering

changes on the comics page. And, hey, if everyone's happy with

everything, we'll just leave it alone and wreak havoc with something

else instead.

Here's the drill:

Open the paper to the comics page, E4. Call 640-5555, then press

4242 (HAHA) and follow the instructions. by CNB
