MONROE - Since the comic strip "Cathy" retired Oct. 2, The Monroe Times is looking for a permanent replacement for the popular feature on Fun & Games, Page B3.
The Times will select the replacement strip from one of six existing popular comic strips. The newspaper will run each of the six comics strips for one week, to give readers a taste of each, and gauge reader input along the way. Following the trial period, there will be an online poll to help determine the eventual permanent replacement for "Cathy."
This week's trial comic strip is "Shoe." Next week's trial will be "Dustin." The Times has featured "Thatababy," "Mother Goose and Grim," "Stone Soup" and "Pooch Cafe" in previous weeks.
Feedback about the comic strips can be e-mailed to Mary Jane Grenzow, editor, at editor@themonroetimes.com. The mailing address is 1065 4th Ave. West, Monroe, WI 53566.
