* * * I used to enjoy the comic strip "Rudy" in the Los Angeles Times. A few weeks ago it made a dignified exit. Does anyone know why? Since this is net.rumor I will start one to the effect that the strip was shut down by the Humane Society on the grounds that it contained oblique implications of bestiality. Dick Jackson

According to THE COMIC BUYERS GUIDE (a weekly newspaper of comics-related info), Rudy was cancelled due to low readership. However, the article mentioned the esteem it has garnered from comics fans and fellow cartoonists alike. "Flaming Carrot!... Do you see Communists behind every bush?"
