Typical 

Just like when I find the perfect shirt (most comfortable, looks decent in several colors) and then find out it's been discontinued. Same is true for other such favorites, like short-lived TV shows and comic strips. (and too many other things)

Regarding comic strips, two that I've grown to like over time have either ended or will end. The Big Picture, and most recently, The Norm. Not good.

I can see why Lennie Peterson (TBP) would want to move on. His strip was often centered around his cat Ginger and I know how it feels to lose a pet. It's devastating. Years later I still cry when I think about my own (gone but very missed) cat. But the other? Going by the "fundraising" activities in place, I'm not so sure I understand the reasoning. I know, I don't have to. But it's frustrasting when you like something and it just ends. (doesn't matter if there's warning, gone is gone)

The best of the best, Calvin and HobbesThe hardest to get over losing was (the very best of all), Calvin and Hobbes. Still the most missed of the missing strips. At least they are still available (not out of print yet for the most part) and even years later (and yes, even by adults), easily re-readable.

Nice, but strange... 

Always a nice surprise going thru your vhs tapes and finding one (tho unfortunately needing to be tossed as it's been used too much) containing not only what was marked as having on it, but also, somehow, unseen episodes of tv shows taped who-knows-when. Wonder how that happened? Hmmm.
