Dear Readers;

     We’re trying something new!   Pretend ...  you’ve just entered the year 2025! Science has found a way to add another 25 years to your life. The economy is booming once again. Gaylord has become the fastest growing community in Michigan. And as a result, the Herald Times is now a daily newspaper! So, of course, we need a comics page. You’re in charge of choosing what goes in!

What 10 comic strips would you choose to put in the Herald Times?

Please put them in order of which you enjoy seeing the most.

     Needs some help choosing? Here’s some lists to help you out!
