Kind of sudden (though of course it was obvious where this was going last Sunday)
Not a bad final strip, though.
Wasn’t there already an announcement some time ago that “Stone Soup” was going to cease publication? I don’t follow the strip, but I thought I read something about it here, although there’s nothing I can find about it now.
I’m pretty sure it wasn’t here, in any case.
I saw it on Usenet. July 26 is the last strip.
July 26 is the last strip? Only the Sunday strips are new.
Do you mean they’re canceling Classic Stone Soup” as well?
Jan said on her blog that the Classic Stone Soups will continue.
@ Bill – “I’m pretty sure it wasn’t here…”
If it was not “Stone Soup”, was there some other strip that was recently cancelled that we were discussing here?
@Kilby: ‘Retail’.
@Carl Fink – USENET? In which newsgroup? alt.binaries.comics.dcp?
@Catlover: rec.arts.comics.strips
When I see the name “Catlover” I immediately think of usenet. There was a usenet personality (many would say troll) that went by “cattlovrr”.
Carl Fink,
I was beginning to think all the usenet groups were inactive – all of mine have evaporated.
So I’ll ask you the question I ask every usenet denizen: do you pronounce it ‘yoosnet’ or ‘yooznet’?
oo-SUH-net, of course.
Chak: Back in the 1980s, I learned it as ‘yooznet’, as in connections you could use.
“do you pronounce it ‘yoosnet’ or ‘yooznet’?”
Um, I pronounce “yoosnet” and “yooznet” the same.
Yoosnet. Yes, still using it.
Um, I pronounce “yoosnet” and “yooznet” the same.
Really? In the sentence “I use that for its intended use”, do you pronounce both “use” words the same?
I still am on usenet, but it’s down to just rec.arts.sf.written. I squeeze a little value out if, but it declines.
One can only afford to end the series if one keeps the classic version going for income, so I presumed it would continue.
I do wonder what piece of garbage my local paper will substitute in for Stone Soup as they do not run the classic version, just the Sunday one.
