Not particularly earth-shattering, but I felt it should be noted. Rick
Detorie has apparently softened his stance on online appearances of "One
Big Happy"; as of Monday, Gocomics.com has been carrying the current
day's installment rather than years-old strips.

I actually preferred the old way. I was reading "Classics" at gocomics
and current at Chron.

Comics.com is still running "classic" OBH (that is, when it's working
at all).

Yahoo comics is also showing what I presume to be the older OBH
(...although not the same as what comics.com is showing...).

When gocomics was showing older OBH strips, their old strip was a
different one than than the one comics.com showed. I presume Yahoo
might be using the same source that gocomics used to use for OBH.

I know, but I have to go and change my bookmarks and such. That's work.

And never mind -- the years-old strips are back on Gocomics.com. Yet
another one of those comic-strip mysteries that we'll never solve, just
like "What happened to the Robotman strip and why is something called
Monty in its place? For that matter, what happened to the Mildes?"
