Lot's of fun. (Incidently, a warmer climate means more evaporation, and more rain, not less. Lot's of muggy heat, and not much dessert.)

It ain’t brain surgery." But how does that get done? Apparently, they're not going to pickit up one their own... @ Wiley

It’s like fourth or fifth, as I recall." Um, no. The comics section still rates as the first or second most-popular section of newspapers--sports is the other one. No doubt, though, that comics pages have been moribund for many years. I agree with Wiley's assessment. Editors don't even understand why comics run in their papers in the first place. “Comics are not even the second most popular section. It’s like fourth or fifth, as I recall.”

I saw it as a commentary on family life as opposed to a strip for "tweens," and I enjoyed reading several strips at a time on-line every week or so. The ending dream sequence was beautiful, especially the final cell. I sincerely hope Ms. Barrows finds success in her new career. I, too, am saddened to learn that PreTeena has ended.

I'm with Virginia and Mark, I didn't even know this site existed until I started hunting down why and what was going on with the strip. Ms. Barrows, please do reconsider. Particularly online.
