It’s time Tribune did something to stablize and secure the future of the strip. Fix it, or end it – but know this, Mike Curtis would be responsbile for revitilizing and then causing the end of the strip – although not intentionally due to his health – I’ve heard THREE possiblities – one is it’s issues with his remaing eye (He lost an eye to canser several years ago) the next it’s serious issues with his back, the third it’s both. Which means Tribune would look bad to fire Mike over health issues – are they waiting for him to walk. They seem to be ok with him as a defacto co-editor and allowing guest tallent to come in and work on the strip. But it’s very clear if they don’t end the strip. that Eric Costello is going to take over the strip with Charles as the artist. However, it does seem this streaching out may be so Mike can do the next story and needs two more weeks of prep time and Eric couldn’t pad out the current story. This is all speculation. Tribune has been more than quiet about the strip….
