Or, How Long Will They Bother with Print, and Especially Comic Strips?
Here's a couple of comments, not comics - related.
Moving the Health, now Health and Science section to Monday? Well, that's one way to avoid comparisons with the NYT Science section on Tuesday..
The second? This forced marriage of sections - Style, Sports, and Metro - is the kiss of death for the print paper. All of these have been star sections of the paper in the past, and presumably could be again, but not with 2 or 3 pages that I assume each'll be getting now. Also, they'll have less readers because people won't be able to share the section they don't care about (I'm talking about you, Sports, and leaving you in the kitchen at work).
As someone might say, file this as blowing smoke up your customer's ass.

The Washington Post is committed to bringing you high-quality journalism and premium news experiences in all the ways you want them. With that top of mind, we want to let you know about some changes to the physical format of your daily newspaper. The number of stories we publish will not be changing. The daily news report, and your favorite stories, columns, and features, all remain part of The Post. But we are reordering our sections to improve our efficiency in a way that serves the journalism and bolsters the strength of our print paper. The change means the number and order of sections will change. The changes begin next week, on June 23, 2025.
