"puddikins" mutts will slowly cease to exist as a comic strip & become merely a string of "lost cat" notices. oop: hi, mark! mark: not so loud. mark trail will clean out 58-year-old wads of earwax. this'll restore his hearing, making all those exclamation marks unnecessary. non sequitur will give up on text entirely & feature only drawings of people with bubbles rising from their heads to indicate ironic dismay. lady: hello, dear. opus: nice hat. opus will continue to resurrect beloved old 1980's characters. unfortunately, many of them will be from doonesbury.
