Why I read Rex Morgan, M.D.

It's not because I think it's great literature, that I can't wait to see what's happening next, or that my family has always read it, so I read it too. No, what drew me to it was the controversy created when the Lansing State Journal took it out of the paper, choosing to carry it only online. Suddenly, every time you looked at the letters to the editor, there would be something about the absence of Rex Morgan, M.D. Apparently, there were a lot of people who really, really liked reading it every day. I read each of those letters, and I'm not sure why, but I blame them for getting me to read the comic. It started when somebody wrote something about bones being found in the woods and how by taking the comic out of the paper, they'd never know who they belonged to. I'll admit it, that's why I started reading, but that was several years ago. The mystery of the bones has long since been solved, and yet, I'm still reading the comic, and I'm not sure why, but I don't think I'm going to stop either.
