Thanks for the detailed info. I hadn't known so many strip bite the
dust and creators had passed away last year.
On a different note. KFS sometimes wipes out a strip as soon as it
ends and other times it never goes away. Because of this I missed the
last (Sunday, August 26, 2007) strip of "Triple Take", anyone have a
copy?

Then again, that could be reruns.
> SUTTON IMPACT
> by Ward Sutton
> circa 1995 - April 17, 2007
> weekly
> alternative/Village Voice
This strip was originally titled "Schlock 'n' Roll" until sometime
around November 2003, when it was changed to "Sutton Impact."
> BO NANAS
> by John Kovaleski
> May 11, 2003 - July 28, 2007
> Universal Press Syndicate
This was syndicated by Washington Post Writers Group, not Universal.
The strip went through various syndicates. It started at Tribune (then
known as Chicago Tribune-New York News Syndicate), then went to
Creators Syndicate, then switched to Los Angeles Times Syndicate, then
ended up back at Tribune Media, when they purchased the LA Times.
Don't think those are reruns.
