When I first read the news that Cathy was no longer going to be published, I did a little dance for joy.  I can’t tell you the number of times I tried to read/enjoy it in the paper funnies section only to be consistently disappointed.  Which of course leads to the desire of the removal of the strip so that it could be replaced by something far funnier.  All of that being said, I wonder if it really will get replaced.  I don’t read the paper funnies anymore.  It was one of those activities that occurred Sunday morning at the parent’s house.  And I only tend to look at a couple of more adult mature comics that I find online (eg xkcd, basic instructions).  So I think humor will live on, but probably not as much in the paper news.
