Of the order of reading one's comic strips:

While typing the previous blog, it dawned on me that i am very rigid when reading my comic strip everyday in the Life Section.

Method:
I start on the left top column and move downwards. Skimming most of the way but might pay some attention to "cathy" and "dudley". Once i reach the bottom of the left column, i move to the adjacent bottom right column to "baby blues" and move my way up. Going pass "foxtrot" and "james" before taking my time with "get fuzzy". I tend to leave the one i like most for the last. No matter how much of a hurry i am in, i will proceed with the same order. Except i will rapidly skim through all the rest, while carefully avoiding looking at "get fuzzy", because i don't want to have any hint of the joke.

Likewise for the Sunday Times comic strips. I will proceed on a Left top to bottom then Right top to bottom order, carefully leaving out "sherman"on the first page and "get fuzzy" on the second. I will go back to them once i finish all others, starting with "sherman" and ending with "get fuzzy".

This routine is only subjected to change when there is a change in comic strips, rendering it necessary for me to once again evaluate, which strips i like most. And finally, proceeding with the necessary change in the order of reading of comic strips.
