In sixteen pages of Wednesday Comics, there is 1 (one) ad. It's a half-pager, on the sixteenth page (or back cover). In sixteen pages of my hometown paper, specifically the national, local, and editorial sections, there are 23 ads (were I to switch out national for the sports section, that total becomes 48). Among these ads are 2 whole-pagers, 1 half-pager, and 5 pages that are two-thirds ads. Only two pages have nothing but news on them. I'll gladly pay the premium for the low-ad content Wednesday Comics provides (to say nothing of the premium the art, storytelling, and size of this comic provides!). Although, Church's post shows that I'm actually not paying too high a price after all. How about this math? In sixteen pages of Wednesday Comics, there is 1 (one) ad.
