Hello, everyone! I’ve got some anxious news… The recent restructuring of newspapers nationwide has hit ‘Breaking Cat News’ hard in 2024. As of this month, I’m down a third of my newspaper income. The BCN Patreon has gone from helping lend extra support to making the difference in keeping the comic afloat! Thanks to our Patreon, my tap in income is covered and I’m still in good shape to pay the bills! Without the Patreon and the support there, this newspaper restructuring would be forcing me to make some hard decisions. I’ve joked in the past that I “don’t want to go back to working at the bank,” but it would have been much more of a reality after this restructuring. If you support BCN on Patreon, THANK YOU!! You are keeping the lights on in the CN news studio, and I’m so grateful to you. If you don’t already and would consider supporting my Patreon, I would appreciate it so, so much and you can find it on their Patreon site. The link is on the BCN FB and Instagram today, if you have trouble finding it on Patreon.
If BCN is in your local newspaper, please take a moment to reach out to them and thank them! If you lost BCN in the restructuring, let your newspaper know you miss seeing the strip! And if you would like BCN in your newspaper, this is a great time to organize with some fellow local readers/friends to contact them and let them know!
You can read more about the recent newspaper restructuring of comics on The Daily Cartoonist’s website. They have been covering this issue since it first loomed last autumn. If you go to their site and search the word “Gannett,” numerous stories covering the changes to our nation’s newspaper comics this year will come up. Simply put, major newspapers have recently restructured their funny pages to run only a few pre-chosen comics, (similar to an ala carte menu) shutting out many of the new comics created in this century completely. (Continued in the next comment!…)
