Star Comics - Tiny Pleasure

The Sunday Star yesterday shrank its comics page from 6 to 4 pages, without dumping any strips (at least not any that I read). Why is it that when I was younger, the comics were full-size and music came with full-sized album art, and now that I'm into bifocal age, comics are micro and lyrics in CD pamphlets are illegible?

I know, I know, I'm not aging gracefully . . .
