I’m sorry to report that I’ve just been informed by the editor of Columbus Alive, which has run This Modern World since 1993, that due to “page-count and budgetary limitations,” they’re going to drop the strip as of June 5.
I’m deliberately not posting any contact info here because I don’t want them to be deluged with astroturf from people who have never seen an issue of the paper in their lives. But if you live in Columbus and you’re a regular reader of Alive, you might want to drop them a line and let them know if you think this is a good decision on their part. Or, um, not.
