These early strips seemed to heavily imply that his wife had died. Later on, they had just gotten a divorce. I wonder if it was just too hard to write comics about death and moving on without becoming Funky Winkerbean.
There are far funnier topics than death, you’ll have to admit.
Some treat divorce like, “you’re dead to me,” & move across the country. It makes more sense than those who still fight all the time.
