While looking for news about Apartment 3-G's end, I noticed that Stone Soup went Sundays-only. It's one of those blandly irritating family-comedy strips that people in this thread got tired of posting, but the article says it ran in over 250 publications. That's the last daily strip.

Didn't Brooke JUST do a "characters tied together with phone cord" sequence in Pibgorn? I suppose it is kind of sad when advancing technology makes one of your fetishes obsolete. It's like having a thing for high-button shoes.

That's Seth, Edda's gay roommate who's in the same ballet company as her. There actually used to be something of a plot, with Edda working as a ballerina and Amos with the conservatory, but after the Belgian balloon-loving story it really got derailed. There also used to be a subplot about Edda modeling and the modeling company preparing to screw her over royally but that got dumped when we got the year and a half of Nazi poo poo we didn't care about.

Pretty much. It seemed like a fair guess, since all the BatTom covers we've seen were knockoffs of Julius Schwartz-era DC.

F Minus Mary Worth  Rex Morgan MD  And so Hugh just walks away and everything is super. THE END Secret Agent X-9  Nice SMACK. Nipponophile posted:I know you've been following these threads for a while. Don't you remember the finale of Little Orphan Annie a couple years back where a strip that had been running since the Great Depression ended suddenly mid-story while Annie had been kidnapped by criminals? Anyways, Apartment 3-G, in which today no statement a character makes relates to any other statement the other character makes. They just kind of stare off and say things.  I am not sure now if there is going to be a Sunday or not. From what I've read it's the 21st that's the end, so this could very well be the penultimate strip. It makes sense for A3G because Sundays are just recap for papers that only run Sunday I think. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Eh, I'm in my mid-20s and I'm a pretty big fan of Bob Dylan; it's not outrageous that the dad could be as well. Plus a fair number of artists still cover "Masters of War," as it's fairly timeless.

That's why I thought it was in Wimpy's house. I know it's best not to over think it, but the fact that Brooke shows complete disregard for continuity and plot in favour of perpetual narcissistic masturbation is offensive.

They leaped out the window while tangled up in the phone to avoid the phone so they could bone outside while dangling from the phone. Also something about that lady who dumped the soda on the other guy. While gay Hulk was home. DO NOT QUESTION THE MASTER

I think he just drew a really hosed up looking Seth. To explain the current situation, we must first remember that Brooke believes young people in TYOOL 2015 would have a landline and a cord phone in their apartment. Wimpy is in NYC for some cello thing, and at the last minute needed someone to accompany her on piano. She somehow knew the number for Edda's landline, and called hoping Edda would back her up (or maybe she wanted Amos I forget if he plays piano). Edda is in the middle of the weirdo thing Brooke portrays when she and Amos are getting intimate and, annoyed at the interruption, she chucks the phone out the window. Since it's a cord phone, the phone remains dangling out the window until Seth spots it. Seth has a relatively low tolerance for Edda's rude bullshit and is now using the phone cord to wrangle her and Amos to get their attention. E: fuuuuck I wrote out this thing on my phone and now you don't care. All the characters in this goddamn strip are dumb but Seth isn't terrible because he really doesn't take Edda's crap most of the time.
