Chicago Trib has dropped Candorville and Prickly City comics.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

A liberal and a conservative strip, respectively. I thought Candorville was usually pretty clever and it was good to see some "characters of color" on the comics page (few and fare between for the Trib) but Prickly City was your typical 'equal time' strip for conservatives, ala Mallard Filmore. Seldom funny or poignant (let alone accurate) but provided enough balance to quell complaints.
