From the August 21, 2016, Dustin comic strip.
Dustin and the young neighbor friend are lying on the floor in the living room reading the comics in the newspaper.
Frame 1:  Dustin:  "It used to be the way we all read the comics."  Friend:  "Wow!"
Frame 2:  Dustin:  "Pretty cool, right?"  Friend:  "The weirdest thing is ..."
Frame 3:  Friend:  "... no pop up ads."  Dustin:  "Plus, it never crashes."
I remember anxiously waiting to get the Sunday comics from my dad as I was growing up and then reading them on the floor.  And, I still get most of my regular, non-blog, news from newspapers.  Few things finer than sitting out on the front porch, gazebo or back deck with a cup of coffee and today's newspaper.
I am sure going to miss it when the time comes and there are no longer any print newspapers.
