This is because it was a piss-poor strip way back when. The strip is many years old, but only in the last few years has it achieved heavy distribution. Before that, the only place I saw it was the Boston Globe, and it was awful. They haven't even bothered to collect those early strips into books, despite the fact that they would sell -- I think the reason is plain to anyone who read it back then. Now, it's pretty good most of the time. -=- Tim Maroney, Carnegie-Mellon University Computation Center ARPA: Tim.Maroney@CMU-CS-K uucp: seismo!cmu-cs-k!tim CompuServe: 74176,1360 audio: shout "Hey, Tim!"
