When will Doonesbury return from hiatus?

Doonesbury has been in "flashack" mode since Garry Trudeau started a sabbatical back in June. I heard that it was to return on Labor Day (or the next day), but its not back up yet. Just wondering if any fans here knew anything. I could not find anything in my limited google searching.

The award-winning Doonesbury comic strip will return to the News Tribune’s Opinion pages — as promised, but not this Labor Day weekend as had been originally expected.

But now summer is over and so, too, is Trudeau’s work on “Alpha House.” New strips restart in the News Tribune this Sunday, Sept. 8.

The bottom line is that the return of “Doonesbury” daily comics will be delayed for 10 more weeks, to the week of Nov. 18; Sundays will continue to be new and fresh. “Doonesbury Flashbacks” will give readers their daily dose of adventure from the Walden gang as we look forward to the next chapter in “Doonesbury’s” story.
