Are daily newspaper comic strips still popular?

Hi. I haven't read daily newspapers in a long time and I am just bit curious. Are newspaper comic strips still popular? There are a lot of comic strips that I used to like and read in daily newspapers. Some I haven't seen in years.

I know some series end and sometimes the newspapers, through syndicates, rerun classic strips to keep the series going.

For example, when Charles Shultz, the man who created Peanuts, had passed, his family continued his series in the newspapers by rerunning classic strips.

Sometimes, when creators pass, someone else take over the strips. That's what happened with Mort Walker, the man who created, wrote and drew the Beetle Bailey strips. His sons took over the strips after he passed.

I sometimes wonder if Ziggy is still being produced.

Are newspaper comic strips still popular? Do people who produce comic strips for local newspapers get paid a lot of money? Is the market for newspaper comic strips still a big one?

I don't know specifically how they get paid, but I know people who produce newspaper comic strips showcase them through syndicates and syndicates help carry their strips through various different newspapers across the U.S. each day.

A number of years ago my old animation instructor from art school snail mailed me some info about how to get involved with producing comics for newspapers and comic strip syndicates.

Please help- thank you.
