So who's doing Hagar now out of curiosity (or did the previous artist have a backlog of strips prior to his death that the syndicate is still working through)?

Chris Browne had at least one assistant artist, Gary Hallgren. And there's another Browne, Chance, who's still drawing Hi and Lois, so one of them could possibly take over Hagar once Chris's backlog runs out. Or maybe there are some Browne grandchildren out there who might want to get into the business, like Mason Mastroianni did with B.C. and The Wizard of Id. Or, hey, maybe they could just let Hagar rest and give a new artist a chance... crazier things have happened.

Hagar's daughter would need a breastplate a few cup sizes up, and her lute carrying beau will suddenly change to more of a cowboy hat aesthetic.

Uramachi Sakaba Don’t be a weirdo, Antique Dealer. (The bit where the alien gets a name is a bit clumsy – “saba” is “mackerel,” which is hopefully clear - but he wears an adorable apron later with “Sabao” written on it so I couldn’t really localize the name.) Cthulhu and Girl

I recall that, originally, it was supposed to be a 6 months hiatus (that's how it was announced, anyway). Newspapers would carry reruns for few months afterwards with that in mind. Aaron McGruder never came back, to the shock of nobody. After another few more weeks of reruns the strip was pulled from newspapers entirely.

Pogo 2/26/50 Archie 7/11-13/46  This feels like a word problem. If Betty starts with $15, buys compasses for $1 each, sells them back for 75 cents, and gives Jughead a $1 commission, how many chances can she get?

Oh no, I want Lottie to be happy with her bf, yet Glenn and Claire are suffering. Is there an answer that doesn't leave one party sad?? B. Virtanen  ANSU   Fingerpori  Roosa Nauha (Rose (Rosé?) Ribbon) is a fundraising foundation thay raises money to combat breast cancer. They release annual ribbon designs for sale, with the money going to their fundraising and people getting a nice-looking ribbon to show their support.  It seems that the foundation hires a different artist each year nowadays to do some snazzier patterned designs. I bet that this is all old news and this kind of ribbon fundraising was inspired by something done elsewhere for a similar purpose.

Hempuli posted:Oh no, I want Lottie to be happy with her bf, yet Glenn and Claire are suffering. Is there an answer that doesn't leave one party sad?? Right now it's a false dichotomy(Nero's REALLY stupid, apparently? Because we can mock his boy band dream? But nobody else is doing anything better or more important...) so Allison could write one if he knew what he wanted to do with Solver and the characters. His work is good and I like the characters and all but things have been really aimless since Lottie got thrown out of the house, it's completely understandable that Glenn realized his "job" was waiting for people to respond to a "we solve problems" generic flyer, and Claire isn't employed by them so ??? What've they done so far, had Dean talk to a chatty woman on a bus and helped two feuding siblings pay respects to their father's ashes? I hope the latter pair gave them a lot of money for it! I heard there was a reason in a comics story but Lottie not being a detective feels really weird and pointless, especially since she just... became detective adjacent anyway. Solver is spinning its wheels.

Due to my piss-poor time management skills, Toonerville takes a hit for the team tonight. Our Boarding House (July 12-14, 1923)    Dok's Dippy Warbucks (August 1, 1914)  Little Lefty (January 13 and 15, 1938)   As the next strip we have suggests, Peanuts' clock still has its original patina...but for a very telling reason.
