For all you Doonesbury fans out there - all is not lost.
After requests on this blog, I asked Ian Katz, the editor of G2 and the man who made the decision to launch without Doonesbury, to explain his reasons. He says G2 is very squeezed for space at the back of the book and it would be difficult to accommodate a second strip. But his mind is open about bringing the man back.
"We felt Doonesbury had a small, committed following but was not read by a large readership. If we're wrong about the number of people who read and love it, we may have to think again," he says.
