Cleats by Bill Hinds for November 03, 2019

Wait! What?!? “Cleats” really IS packing it in?!? I love reading the new adventures these kids get into! … and Hinds’ unique philosophies! :(

Where are Jerome and Bailey? They’re main characters, too, so shouldn’t they be in the final strip as well?

Waaaaaah. I’ll miss Cleats.

Pretty sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this is either the second or 3rd reboot on GC.

Sorry to see them kick the bucket. Adios Amigos

This is the second time through “Cleats”. I’m interested to see what they’ll run tomorrow. Back in 2010, they didn’t start rerunning the strip until mid-December.

WOW…swatting that ball really DID have world-changing consequences for the “Cleats” gang…

WAAAAAAHHH! And yes, I know these were all repeats. Cleats remains one of my fave comics ever. I’d be happy to read them all over again!

I knew they were repeats, but I didn’t see them the first time. And if they reboot again, I’ll have a couple of years I haven’t seen before.

I hadn’t realized we’d reached the end of “Cleats”. Sad, but I look forward to reading more (from the beginning?) once it reboots. Fun strip.

It’s sad that they chose to end this strip as it was one of the better strips out there.

Looks like this was the ghost of an idea.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Hinds is a genius!!!

Oh man, I had no idea these were repeats. I guess I’ll see the beginning I missed when they start it again.

This series wrap up seems to me one of the best “sign offs” I have seen. It is up there with the last “Newhardt” as classy and sensitive.

It’s kind of interesting that Abby grew her hair back for this final daily strip.

Where are Jerome and Bailey? They’re main characters too. They should be in the final strip with their friends.

I’ve read Cleats for several years. Thanks for adding to my morning joy. Good luck on your further life adventures. I’m glad it’s replaying from the beginning. I didn’t have access to it when it started.

@lddecker1961, Cleats has been in re-runs since October 31, 2010. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleats_(comic_strip)
