Where's Garfield? Where's Lola? Where's Dennis the Menace? Dozens of readers called Monday morning to ask those questions. They all wanted to know: Where are the comics?

Well, the comics weren't in Monday's paper. Why?

You'll just love this excuse: Our computers broke.

No. Really. The computer system that produces the daily comics decided to go on the fritz Sunday afternoon. It wasn't until 7 p.m. Sunday that any real work could be done on Monday's paper. But the computer would not give up the Monday comics.

Sorry about that.

So, today's paper has two full pages of comics and crossword puzzles. You can find them on Pages 4 and 5 in the A section.

But ... . We're still having computer problems. The Learning feature page has been condensed, and there is no Mini-Page.

Thanks for your patience.
