A new Sunday comic strip, Bound & Gagged, started over the weekend. It replaces Mt. Pleasant, which is ending.
Bound & Gagged uses silly sight gags to turn everyday occurrences upside down.
Additionally, The Virginian-Pilot and Daily Press are ceasing publication of Dilbert because of racist remarks by its creator, Scott Adams. Dilbert is a long-running comic that pokes fun at office culture.
Editors have chosen Grand Avenue, a strip about a grandmother raising a couple of boys, as a replacement.
Dilbert appeared in Sunday’s editions because the comics were prepared for publication and printed in advance. Grand Avenue will replace it in next Sunday’s package.
