As mentioned in this episode of Jim Ivey's Sunday Comics, Jim submitted a strip called The Retreads to syndicates. He'd been told by someone at a syndicate that a retiree strip would probably be a big hit since the audience of newspaper readers just keeps skewing older and older.
Unfortunately The Retreads didn't sell, so we'll 'print' it here for the first time ever over the coming weeks. Yo syndicates, it's still available!
Hello All----Even though newspapers are being read more by an older, conservative audience, blinkered editors insist on aiming to to the same demographic as television does--the young stupids with money to spend and have no taste (and don't read newspapers). Then they scratch their heads about why their ships are sinking!
