"At its height, Life in Hell was distributed to 379 newspapers,
she says. Now it's down to just 38. The final strip ran June 15,
but reruns will continue through July 13.
"Life in Hell's circulation fell as alternative papers —
hurt badly by the loss of classified ads, which went
to Craigslist and other websites — cut back."
