Check it. This showed up on our doorstep this morning. My better half attended some kind of savvy shopper/couponing (a verb) thing and now we subscribe to the paper on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Honestly, I’m pretty excited about getting the Sunday comics. On a related note, I firmly believe Cathy should die and whoever writes the Lilo strip should stop it and seek professional help. (I will not do either comic the dignity of linking to them.)

But I digress.

I found myself sitting at the table eating breakfast with my daughter, reading the paper.

No, I found myself sitting at the table feeding my daughter my breakfast while she threw the paper and all the ad inserts on the floor.

As the pile of paper on the floor got higher and higher and the amount of cereal in my bowl got lower and lower, I thought about the experience I was having. Sitting down with a physical medium and reading yesterday’s news felt almost…I don’t know how else to describe it…charmingly retro. Classic? Authentic? Trendy, maybe? It kind of made me want to go shave with a safety razor and put on a fedora on my way out to work.

To be clear, I would look terrible in a fedora.

Despite reading everything online, all day, I find myself wanting to go home tonight and read the paper.

Yes, this is Dave. No, I haven’t eaten any spoiled meat.

Does anyone else get the paper? Do you get it for news or just for the comics and coupons?
