Introducing … ‘Red and Rover’

To our readers:

After 35 years, cartoonist Lincoln Peirce, the creator of “Big Nate,” has decided to step back, ending the daily comic strip. He will continue to publish on Sunday, allowing fans to follow the antics of the middle-school prankster each weekend.

Starting today, “Red and Rover,” by Brian Basset, will replace “Big Nate” Monday through Saturday. The comic strip chronicles the adventures of 10-year-old Red, who loves baseball and dreams of space travel, and his loyal dog Rover. We think it will appeal to fans of “Big Nate.”

We hope you enjoy both “Red and Rover” and the Sunday editions of “Big Nate.”
