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:

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_.
