   Let’s step back amd and take the “fan” view here: move, and the strip opens up to include more characters – Gene and just family, Gus, and any new town locals. Stay, and we can look forward to more years of Arlo on the couch grumbling about sports, Janis out ruminating on her walks and in the garden, the Ludwig interludes from main storylines, and the occasional innuendo or sideboob to titillate (hah!) the shut-ins.

   I vote move.

   Incorrect. A pinch hitter is a sub called to hit for a player in an immediate situation, in use since at least the early 1900s. A designated hitter is a player named to bat in place of a position player, and was adopted in the early 70s.

   There is no such thing as a designated pinch hitter.
