What is probably the only child in the world who still reads a physical newspaper offered an editor all of his money for the return of Sunday comics.
The Herald Times of Bloomington, Indiana, recently cut 13 color cartoons from its Sunday edition. In response, the boy left a strongly-worded voicemail for editor Bob Zaltsberg on Sunday. In it, he urges Zaltsberg to bring back the good stuff, like "'Garfield' and 'Dilbert', ya jerks."
After reciting a two-minute-long list of demands, he ends out on a high note: "I'll give you all my money, if you just give it back. Idiots, jerks, shitholes."
According to the Herald Times, Zaltzberg returned the child's voicemail, adding that the kid was "still pretty mad" when they finally spoke on the phone.
"I thought it was a very funny thing, but still, an 8-year-old calling me a shithole isn’t that pleasant,” Zaltzberg told Jim Romanesko.
