    Uh-oh. Is it Walt’s turn? I know they die in the script, but Walt? Say it won’t be so.

    Just a bad day for Walt. He’ll bounce back.

    axe, I don’t think so. We’ve been expecting it since Phyllis passed away. This just may be our dear friend Walt’s swan song.

    I think Walt will be like Fearless Fosdick, and some prose: deathless.

    Few comics age their characters. Maybe they can do as For Better or For Worse, and start from the beginning again.

    Won’t the naysayers be ticked off if this should be but a temporary bad day. Yet again they have been pushing for this moment in time for the past number of years now, so maybe now their wishes will come about. Lead on!

    Mother of mercy! Is this the end of Walt Wallet? If so, he deserves the best palliative care.

    There’s really just two ways to go with this. Either Walt dies sometime or he doesn’t. Nice to be a toon… the rest of us don’t even get the second option.

    I don’t want our dear friend Walt to die, I’m just commenting that since Phyllis’ passing, we’ve been expecting it. What I personally want to see is Walt going to that home where Pogo, Mutt & Jeff and Calvin and everybody was. That’s a great way to write him him off without having to watch him actually die.

    Susan001, according to St. Paul in his letter to the Thessalonians, a select few will escape this life alive (“we who are alive and remain will be caught together with Him in the clouds”). Various sects debate whether that is before or after the Great Tribulation.

    Let’s not start with the Pre- vs. Post-Millenialists (I never can keep the two straight). Both trying to light a fire in the Mid East, for their own greed to get to go to the clouds.

    More likely there’ll be a soggy fizzle, and we’ll recover.

    Or as a dear old friend said, “Rapture Happened; Nobody Left.”
