Standard adds B.C. comic strip

You asked for it ? now you have it.

The Southern Standard has added the comic strip “B.C.” to its regular comic lineup that appears in every edition of the newspaper on the Entertainment page.

The Standard had long published “B.C.” in its Sunday package of color comics. But when the newspaper opted to buy a different Sunday package earlier this year to give new energy to the comics page, “B.C.” was one of the features left out.

The newspaper staff heard the grumbles. Several customers expressed disappointment at no longer being able to read “B.C.” It’s with that feedback in mind, the paper has brought back “B.C.” ? only this time it’s three times a week.

“Based on what our readers told us, they want ‘B.C.'” said executive editor Patricia Zechman. “So we aim to please.”

“B.C.” can be found on page 7-D of today’s print edition.
