By: E&P Staff The readers have spoken -- thousands, in fact -- and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution listened.
More than 18,000 readers voted in the Journal-Constitution?s comics election last week, in which they were asked to vote for two strips to be reinstated on the comics page. The winner was Bill Holbrook?s ?Kevin & Kell.? ?Judge Parker,? created in 1952 by psychiatrist Dr. Nicholas P. Dallis, is the other winner.
Both strips retirned to the AJC on Monday.
Other strips that garnered votes (listed here in descending order) but didn?t quite cut the mustard were: ?Hagar the Horrible,? ?The Lockhorns,? ?Dog Eat Doug,? ?Mark Trail,? ?Cathy,? ?Daddy?s Home,? ?Rose Is Rose,? ?On a Claire Day,? ?JumpStart,? ?Mary Worth? and ?Ink Pen.?
The Journal-Constitution recently had to drop 11 strips -- bringing its number down from 36 comics to 25. Gone from the comic page now are ?Cathy,? ?Daddy?s Home,? ?Dog Eat Doug,? ?Hagar the Horrible,? ?Ink Pen,? ?JumpStart,? ?The Lockhorns,? ?Mark Trail,? ?Mary Worth,? ?On a Claire Day? and ?Rose Is Rose.?
