Zippy fans in Chico CA (SF Chronicle territory) are also upset about Zippy's removal--here's an article in this week's CHICO NEWS & REVIEW.
THE SUREST WAY TO BRING ZIPPY BACK IS TO SEND REPEATED EMAILS TO THE CHRONICLE--(over the next few weeks)
Yes, The San Francisco Chronicle dropped Zippy from their
comics pages on 3/15/04. (The "last" Zippy Sunday strip will
run on 3/21/04) Here's how to remedy the situation:
Click here to send your
protest to the San Francisco Chronicle!
You brought Zippy back two years ago--you can do it again!!
Please: ONLY S.F. Chronicle readers, Bay Area and outlying residents
should register their opinion.
PLEASE INCLUDE THE TOWN WHERE YOU LIVE IN YOUR EMAIL.
CALL the Chron to protest:
Dick Rogers: 415-777-7870
Hundreds of readers have called and sent emails. Keep it up!
The best way to get Zippy restored to the Chron is to KEEP UP THE PRESSURE. If at first you don't succeed-- send another email-- Make another call!
