Lew and I have subscribed to the Portland Press Herald and the Maine Sunday Telegram for most of our married life.
We let our subscription expire a week ago without renewing it.
The major reason for our decision not to renew: The political bias of the paper. It has had a liberal (i.e., leftist) agenda for years, and we finally got too fed up! (We will let the Internet and Fox News Channel keep us informed.)
The only parts of the paper that I consistently looked at anyway were the puzzles, the obituaries, and the comics. Here is how I now meet those three needs:
Puzzles. My favorite puzzle is KenKen, which wasn't even in our paper. I have purchased some KenKen books through Amazon.com, so I can get my "puzzle fix" every day.
Obituaries. (Is it morbid to want to see who died?) I have bookmarked the paper's section: http://obituaries.pressherald.com/obituaries/mainetoday-pressherald/
Comics. I have access to more comics online than with the newspaper! The rest of my post will be the links that I use for reading "the funnies."
The Washington Post has a great page that links to most of the comic strips I am interested in: http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/comics
Some additional strips I like that aren't currently on the Washington Post site:
Foxtrot Classics: http://www.gocomics.com/foxtrotclassics
Fred Basset: http://www.gocomics.com/fredbasset
Mallard Fillmore: http://www.oregonlive.com/comics-kingdom/?feature_id=Mallard_Fillmore
