    is beginning its fourth decade by switching to its fourth syndicate.

    I fondly remember the Sherman's Lagoon screen saver we had on our first
    home computer. From time to time one of the randomly-swimming fish
    would encounter Megan, and emit a blood-curdling scream as she ate him.

    Fortunately one could turn that particular sound off. The screensaver
    still seems to be available on the web.

    That's interesting. I wonder the reason. When I think "King Features", I
    think "legacy strips", and this certainly doesn't help change that.

    Second time this 2022 year a strip moved from King Features to Andrews McMeel, the other being Baby Blues.

    Gone from Comics Kingdom this AM; today's strip appears at GoComics. No archives, as one might expect.
