He also referred to that “famous” (24-yrs-ago) Burger King ad “where’s the beef.”
He actually said it was a Burger King ad?
Dude’s a gasbag.
Does the P-I still deliver to Whidbey? Curious because I see they’re pulling a lot of their boxes.
Okay, so poor Joel’s brain started atrophying around 1968. Anyone who’s read his column lately shouldn’t really be surprised by this “revelation”.
Wonder how badly he’s going to freak out when he sees “Zippy The Pinhead” in the PI’s comics section.
The Stranger is indeed is an underground newspaper. It’s not something you admit to reading in polite society.
What happened to the Bellingham Stranger boxes? Increase distribution here!
@4 Yes.
Underground?
Didn’t that term make sense in the days of mimeographed and stapled sheets from the Weathermen and Yippies passed among true believers?
How “under” can you be if all it takes is Google Chrome to read it.
@5 he did see it and he made the PI pull Zippy this week for another weak family cartoon – the pajama diaries.
@5 – oddly enough, Zippy was pulled from the PI’s comics page this week – replaced by the Pajama Diaries.
Joel Connelly is utterly irrelevant. He was the primary voice against I-1000 and all his wide circulation got him was its passage by 58%. Anyone who listens closely doesn’t listen to him.
By the sound of his voice, Connelly must have tremendously massive adenoids.
Stranger reporters need to start sporting trenchcoats and sunglasses — you’re in the underground now.
That’s ridiculous. How could he call you that? Publication, maybe, but “newspaper” is stretching it.
jealousy. pure jealousy.
I’d have thought you would enjoy the attention. Don’t you?
So why isn’t he covering the City Council pretense over snow removal and the lack of transit in person?
Enquiring city councilmembers want to know …
What are the Stranger’s circulation numbers anyhow? Have they been going up, down, stagnant? How does that compare with other local weeklies and dailies?
Latest rate card has their readership at 437,200. Not sure what science is used to get that, or whether its been up or down, but I suspect since its free, the circulation isn’t affected by the recession- only the number of advertisers.
