Opus (the strip) is still around on the Advertiser Sunday's comics page. If the Bill the Cat comes out on that strip it is usually during the presidental elections.
My one major contribution during my many many years at the Star-Bulletin was convincing the editors to run "Calvin and Hobbes." Everything else is minors.
BTW, "Sally Forth" artist Craig MacIntosh is a Radford grad. You occasionally see the husband in the strip wearing Radford Rams sweatshirts.

FoxTrot strips are better in context, anyway, so even though their dismissal from the Advertiser sucks rocks, I guess I can live with it, since I buy all the anthologies. I have every (non-"treasury") anthology Bill Amend has published and I'll keep buying them.

Noticed that they're all near the bottom of the pages . . . surrounding my Puzzle, bridge column, Sudoku and Jumble. I must be lazy as all heck . . . I rarely go to the upper part of the comics page unless I get stuck on a game solution.
Oh kind of spooky here, Foxtrot, Jump Start and Pickles graces the bottom section of the page on the Honolulu Advertiser, while Garfield is also on the bottom of the comics page on the Honolulu Star Bulletin. Don't have Overboard here.
Dilbert is on the 2nd page of the Business Section of the Star Bulletin (on the top), while Sally Forth is on the top half of the comics section on the Star Bulletin.
I think Peanuts is on the bottom half of the Star Bulletin.
Advertiser is running the strip called Retail in Foxtrot's old space.
Argh !!! The SJ Merc is running Zits in place of Foxtrot. Yeah, it started in the New Year's issue, but I didn't notice it. Remember, I read the comics when I get stymied by the puzzle, sudoku or Jumble . . . as a diversion.
