Changes in comics

“Boondocks” creator Aaron McGruder is taking a six-month sabbatical from his comic strip starting this week. In the interim, “The Flying McCoys” joins The Times’ comics pages. It will run at the top of this page next to Sudoku; “Mr. Boffo” switches from a panel to strip format and moves below “Bliss” and “Bizarro,” also on this page. On Sundays, “The Flying McCoys” replaces “Boondocks.”
