   I meant to say that Annie wasn’t in the strip yet when Lila got Frankie…
   it will take a quite while in re-runs for her to even make her first appearance.

   I’m real sorry to see the Comic go.
   I remember back when it was in print for a while. It’s always been funny, and consistently so, as in everyday.

   Well, fiddle…another artist has gone broke making comics. I can understand the economics and all…but dropping a strip in mid arc? I’m getting tired of it. Oh well…one less strip on my page…one more reason to think about just letting it all go.

    Thank you, everyone, for your kind words. It’s been tough and you all have buoyed me though with your thoughtfulness. Lila is in reruns, but as I submit them, I am refreshing them with, hopefully, funnier content so you may enjoy taking a step back. Visit my website to learn more and, again, thank you for reading Lila these past nine years! I’ve enjoyed your comments every day!!! —John

    So sad to see this strip end! Thanks, John, for brightening our mornings with Lila, Boyd, Annie and the rest. Your work has been refreshing, real and funny. You’ll be missed.

    John, i am sorry to see this end…i was hoping you would have been able to follow up with that story idea i gave you a couple of years ago about LIla working with developmentally disabled adults (like my career…only THEY get some good lines, not me or the other staff!) Hopefully, you can bring LIla back someday……

    That’s two awesome strips now that have announced they are closing! (see Cow and Boy). My mornings will never be the same…
