I have a dream
I have a solution for The Post's woes: Enlist retired baby boomers as volunteer editors for a day! We have decades of experience as print readers. My first improvement would be to relocate Edith Pritchett's clever New Yorker-style comic from the Opinions pages to the Style section, where it belongs. Then I would bundle a combination of conservative and liberal editorial cartoons in the space now allotted to Pritchett, as you used to do. This would have the associated benefit of sparing The Post from having to place conservative cartoons on the editorial page during the week, a practice that leads print readers to wonder how far The Post might be slipping into darkness.

Waterloo
I've come to expect more from The Post than conveying articles in comic book form. The illustrations add nothing, unless you're trying to appeal to a low-attention-span audience. The waterborne hot dog stands, pools and luxury housing floated in Beatrix Lockwood's Sept. 3 Tuesday Opinion piece, "The rising waters, the floating hot dog stand," were rendered even more ridiculous when seen in illustrated form.
Enough precious space has already been sacrificed to large photo spreads. Please spare us; two pages a day of comics is enough.

Lay all your love on me
What a wonderful surprise to find in the Aug. 25 "Pearls Before Swine" such a tender response to the death of a loved one. It so happened that I had lost a beloved niece the day before, and it helped me accept her loss. And it made me wonder what was going on in cartoonist Stephan Pastis's life. Thank you, Pig.
