By: E&P Staff The Sacramento (Calif.) Bee, effective yesterday, reduced the size of its Sunday comics section from eight to six pages.
Four of the comics dropped from the smaller section will still run in the Bee on weekdays. They include "Bizarro," "Garfield," "Hi and Lois," and "Rubes." Strips being dropped entirely by the newspaper are "The Amazing Spiderman," "Hagar the Horrible," "Opus," and "Slylock Fox." Also, the Bee is losing "The Boondocks," which just went on sabbatical.
Only one new comic -- "Frazz" -- is being added by the Bee.
In an editor's note, the Bee said: "We are making the cuts so we can devote more resources to new products such as expanded, frequently updated news on our Web site."
