The Royal Gazette is pleased to announce that it will be publishing “Crabgrass” as its latest comic strip.

"Crabgrass” is described as a a strip about childhood friendship and its peaks and valleys.

A description from syndicate Andrews McMeel Universal said: “The main characters, Miles and Kevin, are charming examples of the resilience of the bonds we form when we are young, and why we remember those times fondly.

“It is also a thrilling exploration of the adventures (and mischief) that children can get into when allowed to roam. Set in an ambiguous time before cellphones and the internet, the strip finds a way to connect to the old and the young without alienating either.”

Created by Tauhid Bondia, Crabgrass replaces Dilbert, which The Royal Gazette cancelled yesterday. It can be found on Page 21
