In reference to my post earlier today, Dianne Chinnes shared the above Mike Peters cartoon (and if his syndicate gripes about my using it, give me a break — I got laid off!).
Dianne, who used to run Junior Achievement, knows about newspapers. Her late husband, Bob Pierce, was an associate editor at The State back in the day, and he wrote the definitive history of the newspaper, Palmettos and Oaks.
