Letter: More offerings for kids in the paper?

To the editor:

I read the police entry but I didn’t see any comics or games. That’s why I think you should put comics and games in the newspaper.

I’m sure there are a lot of kids that live in Rhode Island and read the newspaper. We want to see funny little comics and word riddles and fun games like sudoku or jumbled words. Not just news.

The other day I went to the mailbox to mail a letter. As I looked in the mailbox I saw the newspaper and wondered what games and comics they had today but when I got back inside, I took a peek of what was in it. I just saw regular news. No games, no comics.

That’s when I thought about writing this letter.
