There's a rumor going around the Internet that long running soap opera strip _Apartment 3-G_ is going to be cancelled later this year. The prime source right now seems to be Joe McQuaid's Publisher's Notes, in the Manchester (NH) Union-Leader:
http://www.unionleader.com/article/20151019/LOCALVOICES02/151019266 although he only cites ``my industry sources'', and he talks of having ``lunch with my friend, The Donald'', so the guy probably deserves to be wrong and punched. It wouldn't be surprising if _Apartment 3-G_ is up for cancellation since the writing has utterly disintegrated the past two years, and the artwork has gotten so bad people only barely notice. Asking what the heck is wrong with it is the search term that most often brings people to my humor blog since I've been trying to explain what's happening. (Nothing is happening in _Apartment 3-G_; that's the key.) The artwork at least has the ready-made excuse that artist Frank Bolle is 91 years old and might not be up to the daily grind any longer; the writing problems are a mystery. Apparently _Mark Trail_ artist James Allen is making a pitch to take over the strip, and I don't think that'd be a bad idea. And _Sally Forth_ author Francesco Marciuliano might have been stealthily trying out for a writing gig on it as he's done several flash-forward sequences with Hilary Forth and her friends as a trio of young women on their own in the city. I'd be glad to send updates if something happens, but after all, nothing happens in _Apartment 3-G_. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
