About Clear Blue Water
The phrase "clear blue water," explains author Karen Montague-Reyes, comes from the world of politics. It describes the ideological divide between two political parties. In the Torres house, clear blue water is the gulf of personal experience that Eve and Manny cross each day to make their lives work. Male and female, liberal and conservative, biracial and Hispanic, they approach everyday life from opposite shores and find common ground in their devotion to each other and their determination to raise their children well.

I am really going to miss this strip, I have been reading it every day for years. It is the only one I regularly read, and I love its empasis on family life and the joys and hassles of an everyday loving marriage.

It can’t end! :( Truly my favorite strip, I will miss it. Hopefully, it’ll keep going on KM’s site.

“Clear Blue Water” will end its print run with Universal Press Syndicate on Sept. 28, but Karen Montague-Reyes plans to soon continue her feature as a webcomic.

We will have to kiss the strip goodbye unless she comes to terms with another syndicate. Print versions can make money for the author, web versions cannot. They just fade away. Good bye, old friends.

Really? Wow. Someone should tell the guys over at:
www.pennyarcade.com www.pvponline.com www.goats.com etc etc etc
who make their living with that there new fangled online comics thanga ma bobies.

Optimism is eternal. My guess is that the strip is gone forever. (sarcasm doesn’t trump reality)
canarynoir said, about 1 year ago
This really ticks me off. Every comic I truly love comes to an abrupt end far too soon.
BOO! GoComics, you need to continue to support this strip! It’s brilliant!
PSI-Clone said, about 1 year ago
With so many truly worthless comic strips still going strong how can a great strip like this disappear? I am so depressed.

Please come back, one of the truly funny strips and so insightful of family life
snarkm said, about 1 year ago
Her website and today’s strip is up now at http://karenmontaguereyes.com/
There is no archive yet so I don’t know if she is planning on putting her old strips up as well, or even if she plans to archive the new ones, but it’s good to have it back!

Thanks for the link. I can relate to Karen as I too have an Autistc child. I really enjoy reading this strip. I checked out the site and she is doing an excellent job with it and her son. Kudos to Karen.

Have you been put on the once a month strip on this newspaper or are you through doing this? This has been one of my favorite strips and I hope you are going to continue with it.

On her own, Montague-Reyes has made the strip a bit edgier. The difference already shows.

Why shouldn’t we post after this, King Rat? What would happen if we kept posting forever?…….
KingRat said, about 1 year ago
The big bad HeeBee GeeBee’s will knock on your door and kick you off the face of the earth, that’s what will happen if we keep posting.

The problem with Karen Montague-Reyes’ website is that it doesn’t have a way to view previous strips (or if there is, I haven’t been able to find it), so if you miss a day, you’re SOL.
KingRat said, about 1 year ago
runar if you go to her blog she has links to the comic’s archives just under the page header

TV show called The Waltons. They’d say goodnight to EVERYBODY, and would always end in Goodnight John-Boy. Those last batch of names are Waltonses.
