North Carolina paper drops Sunday comics

The Robesonian (Lumberton, North Carolina) has dropped the Sunday comics, beginning with the July 28 edition, the paper reported.
According to the paper, it made the move because of the recent rise in newsprint prices, affected by the tariffs imposed on imports from Canada.
“This was a difficult decision,” said Denise Ward, publisher of The Robesonian. “We know and appreciate that some folks love their comics, but the cost is something we simply cannot absorb.”
Ward said the paper will add games and puzzles.
The daily comics, published in black and white, will still be included in the paper.
