Remeber the half-Indian guy in Mtiggiwhompawhacki who dumped Elizabeth for the NEW teacher in town? Remember Gerald trying to have his way with April? How about the cad who took Elizabeth to a wedding and got falling-down drunk? Didn't John call Elly something like "lard butt" in a recent throwback strip? In fact, it could be said that Lynn is taking her frustrations out on ALL of us by smacking us upside the head with insipid storylines like "The Grandpa Who Wouldn't Die," and "Here comes the Elizabeth-Whaaaanthony Trainwreck," and "Special Ed Kids Are Actually a LOT Smarter Than We Are?" If you have a weak stomach, FooB has been unreadable for several years now. Why must WE suffer just because Lynn is suffering? Maybe she should run for Prime Minister for the Self Pity Party. Please Lynn, if you don't want to draw Foob any more, just trash it. Spare us the warmed over reruns. Just back away and make room for someone else.--> <strong>Editor's note</strong>: "Hugh's" comment has been removed for violation of <a href="http://dailycartoonist.com/index.php/2006/12/15/rules-for-commenting-on-the-daily-cartoonist/" rel="nofollow">commenting rules</a>.

That might be a bit out of character, but perhaps less so than my next idea of a cross-over where the crocodiles from <em>Pearls Before Swine</em> get to eat the new "Rod" character. Yes, Lynn has class and that's why I'm sure she'll survive this episode.

I've lost count. It's very sad. I don’t know how many women around me in their 40s and 50s have had their husbands leave them for another woman. I’ve lost count. It’s very sad.

But she's been so courageous in the strip all along that it's no surprise. Still, it's sad. She deserves to be happy and will end up that way, I'm sure.

So bringing back Anthony rather than introducing a new permanent love interest for Elizabeth made sense in that respect.</i> Huh?..umm...Sparky, I count almost <b>15</b> characters in your strip. Confusing? Try Rerun looking just like Linus! Too bad about her marriage. Good thing Lynn seems to be handling Rod leaving her with class. If <i>I</i> were Lynn, I would incorporate this sudden life change into the strip and have John leaving Elly because he was gay. I'd have him running off with a 300lb. biker. I would be very spiteful considering I almost ended my feature, one of the most beloved and popular in the history of comics, to spend time with my husband...who then leaves me right as my feature is almost coming to an end!? Despite my dislike of the hybrid format, props to Lynn for being a classy lady... Johnston said she reunited Elizabeth with Anthony partly because of advice from late “Peanuts” cartoonist Charles M.
