Dave Barry, who was the most widely syndicated humor columnist when he went on sabbatical at the end of 2004, has decided not to resume his weekly column, Editor&Publisher reports.
Barry’s weekly Miami Herald feature appeared in more than 500 newspapers via Tribune Media Services and Knight Ridder/Tribune Information Services.
“I’ll continue to write occasional columns for the Herald, as I did this year,” Barry said. “I’ll also continue to do the holiday gift guide, and the year in review. And I’ll keep blogging. But not the weekly column.”
