It was a great strip in its first run around, one of my favorites actually, but I don't know why she just didn't officially retire it when she said she would. To keep it going, sort of/kind of, after the first run through just puzzles me. It's as though Johnston was afraid to officially retire. And what's the deal--are the characters back in the 1970s/80s again or is it present day? I'm just confused at everything....kind of puts a damper on what was otherwise a terrific comic strip.
