Legend had it that a kid approached Shoeless Joe Jackson at the height of the Black Sox scandal and cried, “Say it ain’t so, Joe!” and Joe turned away.
Jackson himself says it never happened, and declared that if it had, he’d have said, “Of course it ain’t so.”
@ImaGuess what ? It’s a free country and you are free not to read this strip. If you don’t understand the humor, no problem. You can always find strips that you can understand and enjoy. Oh, BTW, I apologize for inadvertently flagging you. I didn’t mean to, and unfortunately, I can’t get it to Unflag. This is why I wish we had an edit button.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some newspaper somewhere decided to dump this comic (as well as a few others). Comics pages seem to be shrinking in a lot of newspapers — and then they wonder why newspaper subscriptions go down, while people use the Internet for their comics.

I didn’t know that Neilsen viewers were literate enough for GoComics.

If this is true, we are not amused.

For whatever it’s worth, I see nothing about this on PaBlog or newadventuresofqueenvictoria.com.

Sigh. Unless this is just a joke, another quality strip bites the dust. I’d think I’d get used to it, but I probably never will.

First Cow&Boy and now this. But Garfield lives on… What is wrong with people?

I hope this is a joke. But based on how they treated Yenny’s creator I wouldn’t be surprised.

Anyone else notice the 12/9 in the top left corner? It’s a re-run, just like yesterday’s.

Since when have the enlisted men in the Royal Navy been anything but low?

Maybe Queenie and company can do what so many sitcoms did in the 1970s and ’80s; “Queen Victoria Goes Hawaiian.”

I didn’t notice the date. I guess I’m a little uptight, I just lost my twinkies, I didn’t want to lose my NAQV too!

First Helen, Queen of the Internet, then Yenny Lopez, now this!We definitely are not amused.

So it’s OK the other way round, is it?

It’s a cartoon and what is written therein may be a joke.

“Helen, Sweetheart of the Internet” was canceled by its creator because he got too busy for it.
