The Guardian, which was my beloved daily paper for all those years I lived in London, launched a new design yesterday. It’s quite radical for a quality newspaper, and I regret not being on the ground to see it.

But the editors made a truly monumental mistake. As part of the redesign, they axed Doonesbury. Fortunately, such was the outcry, it has now been restored to the paper. Ian Katz, the guilty man, explains what happened.
