Well, today is the big reveal of the "new and better" Citizen.

We have been subscribers at our present address for 49 years, and have seen a lot of changes come and go over the years. The new font for "The Citizen" looks like it's from a bygone era, which is not necessarily a bad thing - just strikingly different.

Usually the horoscopes give me a laugh, but today, they gave me exercise, as I went to look for a magnifying glass. You do realize, don't you, that many of your readers still cling to the paper copy of The Citizen because they are getting on in years, and prefer this old style of communication over an electronic version? In this age group, sharp vision isn't the norm, so I hope that the teeny tiny print in the horoscopes will grow over time.

Then we came to the comics. "Hi and Lois" and "Hagar" are old friends, but even with two installments of the new "Mother Goose and Grimm", I could see nothing funny, or even intelligible. "Bizarro" is bizarre, but tolerable. If we are going Canadian, how about bringing back "For Better or Worse"? Staying on the same page, thanks for leaving the crossword unchanged.

We enjoy receiving our paper at the front door five days a week and hope to continue to do so for a few more years to come.
