Smiley isn’t smiling too much about the new way that the City Paper is distributing their news.

I thought I would keep reading it online, especially since they claimed they would have their comics on the website. Nope. It’s two new crappy comics and a link to a site where you can pay to view old B.C. strips.

What I really miss is the copy that would invariably be folded up and stuffed between the wall and the bathroom stall door.  The articles were edited to be exactly one dump long.  I’m not gonna carry a laptop into the sh**ter with me.

Chalk me up as a reader who apparently wasn’t ready to make the leap away from the print edition.

A way with words CeeElCee has there about bathroom reading but also sage advice to news outlets?

Do you guys like it? Hate it? Think it’s good cat box filler? Think it’s inspired? Opening doors to new media? Not enough comics?

What say you?

I think it’s a bad move. It might be opening doors to “new” media (really, nothing new there) if their website were nice…but the website is godawful. Why can’t news sites find a decent designer.
