Beginning today, a strip called "Jump Start" begins a one-month, Monday- through-Saturday run in place of "Non Sequitur" on The Sun's comics pages. "Jump Start," created by Robb Armstrong of Philadelphia, is about the daily lives of a middle-class African-American family. It currently appears in more than 400 newspapers.

"Non Sequitur," whose creator, Wiley, is taking a month off, returns to its usual spot in The Sun in September.
