As WLLilly noted in a comment to August 30’s rant hereabouts, Darrin Bell celebrated Cathy’s demise with a hilarious sequence in which a search for a replacement for Cathy turns up Clyde, the “C-Dog” thug of Candorville. Worth a look. Sorry I missed it before posting August 30’s essay.

I wasn’t aware there were any strip cartoonist’s sites with the strips in such gratifyingly LARGE – original art ??????? – size ??!!! Thank you !!!!!!!
Interesting that he actually titles his strips , like in the pre-TV era (and Griffy) . He runs in the San Francisco Chronicle here (which , incidentally , obviously colorizes his strrip , as it appeared B&W here as well as at Comics.Com which must make Bell the only ” younger ” – Um , I ssume that someone who lists Eminem and Beyonce songs as his ” Songs Of The Day ” is likely to be post-Boomer , at the very least , non ????????? – synducated cartoonist to draw a ” true ” B&W strip(there’s a panel exception or two I’ve seen) .
