Welll … there’ve been about a half-dozen false alarms and close calls for the Old Comics’ Home and Walt over the last several years. But unless Scancarelli’s admitting to ditching the strip’s aging in real time, it had better be soon: Walt’s already the fourth or fifth oldest person in the world, and no lower than the fourth oldest verified man in history.
I’ve been following this strip since the ‘60s, and y’gotta love Walt, but it really is time for him to be re-united with Phyllis and the old gang. Surely there’s a gentle story-line to send him off to that Good Night. And Skeezix is already in his mid-90s…

I’m afraid this could be the end for Uncle Walt. Looks like he might be headed for the Old Comics’ Home.

I smell a crossover here. Or maybe you’re right.

Yes, Augustus Mutt was co-star of Mutt & Jeff. This promises good things to come.

Reality check about his age notwithstanding, I hope this isn’t “transition time”. No matter what kind of spin you put on it, it’s a sad occasion.
