Citizen Dog by Mark O'Hare for January 15, 2014

Last strip.

Bye all, it was nice knowing all of you. Til we meet again……

Well I like it better than the final MASH show.

Good morning, cleo, sugar, Fellow Baby & the rest of the CD gang!

Time to move on then. Thanks Mark!

WE BETTER NOT BE MOVING ON! THIS STRIP BETTER “JUMP START” AGAIN TOMORROW!

Awesome ending, NOW WE BEGIN AGAIN! (I HOPE!)

Good morning Fellow Baby, cleo, sugie, JP Steve, Number Six, Happy, 2old, x-Tech, pumaman and eldo!

Yeah Fellow Baby, that last MASH episode was quite the let-down, wasn’t it?

Very sweet. I had always thought thatI had read the final CD when I saw a strip that had them walking off together on a path through a forest.

Good morning to Grog, Dry, sugie and the sad Citizens of Dog.

Once you could buy a print of this script. Does anyone know where you still can, or have one to sell

Since this was not the first time GC has run the strip, it is my opinion that they’ll probably start it up again…if not tomorrow…then, maybe within the next few days. After all, there’s quite a few of us who gather here, so it’s still a VERY popular strip, which I don’t think goes ignored by GC.

Hopefully, we won’t see this:

Nothing that ends, ends good.I am hopeing for a new beginning.

Very nice, Stel!

@StelBel

and off They go, riding staring into the Sunset . . . .

Anybody else ready for another Six years?!? ;)

ME, ME!

Nearly as good as Calvin’s “Let’s go exploring” finale.

Is there a ‘fail safe’ plan if they don’t re-run the re-run? All card carrying CD’ers want to know.

cleo, I thought too Mel and Fergus walked off into the woods or somewhere for the final strip.In fact, I should look, I think I have it in one of my scrapbooks at home.

If it is not restarted for a few days, this would be a good opportunity for a few extra tributes in the form of monuments to Fergus. Any ideas?

I could read this strip over and over again. It manages to be sweet, sarcastic, original, funny and poignant. Fergus and Mel are a marriage. Two souls that love one another.

The CD I thought was the final one was last used on Dec. 23, 2009. It too was a fitting ending. If I was as talented as the rest of you Citizens of Dog I would post it for you.

That’s the one, cleo!

I think most of us are ready for another SIX years! I’m 99.99999% sure they’ll repeat it!

I didnt start at the beginning, but I bought the books. Still, I’d like to see another run…and another….

I replied to you at OB, Shika.

I like Zoe.I would have enjoyed seeing more of her.

Thank you StelBel & Eldo. It is nice to have masters amongst the few Citizens who have few skills on the ’puter. By few I mean me. :-)

I love Calvin and Hobbes ( check out my avatar ); nothing in my mind is better, but I rarely comment there (two many comments) and CD in my mind is the sweetest relationship I have ever seen in a comic.

Good night people and pets.

SERIOUSLY MY FRIEND?? TOO MANY COMMENTS?

WINK, WINK, SNICKER, SNORT, LOL! Back in the day! Sigh!

Good night as Happy said, to people and pets! AND ALL YOU FINE CITIZENS OF DOG!

GOOD NIGHT CITIZENS OF DOGS, Fergus, Mel, Cuddles, Fluffy and, or course, Meowrp!

……………………..

……………………..

1:35 am on the east coast…and still no changeover here…

Bde-bde, that’s all, folks.

Well, Cuddles….I’m not happy either…

When Lynn Johnson closed out For Better or Worse, she told the continuing story of the characters. then she had to start all over again (her husband ran off with an other woman, and there went the retirement plans). I sometimes read the strip and I know how it will turn out in the future. I think I would have liked to know if Mel and Zoe had kids, and if Fergus ever found a mate etc.

…morning…

PLEASE GOCOMICS, BRING BACK CITIZEN DOG!

OKAY FOLKS, IT’S LETTER WRITING TIME AGAIN!

Good morning Fellow Baby, cleo, sugie, and all us lonely Citizens of Dog fans!

This isn’t a good sign…………maybe they don’t have a contract with O’Hare to re-run it again…???

Maybe they’re still re-winding SIX years of strips and it takes awhile….?

Maybe they don’t mind leaving a whole bunch of people just twisting in the wind….?

Maybe we should start a letter-writing campaign….?

WHAT WOULD FERGUS DO?

Just sent my email under “Site Feedback” asking them to please start Citizen Dog over from the beginning and telling them what a lovely comic strip it is and how much it would be missed if they discontinue it.

I tried my girl on peanutbutter cookies last night.I think that I have created a monster…

I’m going to bake some peanutbutter oatmeal cookies soon and see if she likes those.It’ll be far cheaper than store bought dog treats, and we can share…

Dang it! This does not bode well.

I just wrote gocomics with a plea to start CD from the beginning again.

Dang the one day I do not turn on my computer they end the best place there. I hope people can read this.

Good Morning Grog, Dry, Cleo & all CDers out there>

Hi SUGIE!

Gone, but not forgotten. I hope the sun rises again on the strip soon.

Please rerun Citizen Dog, it won’t be a complete day without it.

We’ll have to take a poll ELDO. CD vs PC? Hmm. How about Red Rover? That would make a nice home too. But I want to see CD from the beginning.

Come back Fergus and Mel! This is your home. This is our home! Come back!

C’mon over to PC, Eldo. Give it a try!

I heard.back from gocomics and from their reply they make it appear that if I want to see old CD strips in the future I should do it through the archives.

For those people looking for the very beginning of CITIZEN DOG, CLICK HERE.

Little Dog Lost would also be a good replacement hangout. It is beautifully drawn and written. I already read Pooch Cafe, Red and Rover, Little Dog Lost, Dog Eat Doug and other pet strips.

When you get back you can check out tonight’s reply at OB, Shika.

If we do have to move on, I agree with cleo. I love LDL. I’ve read some Pooch Cafe, but I dropped it from my queue. I just couldn’t get into it.

I do not know why they choose what they choose to rerun, but I will really miss CD. Big Top, where many of us first met, goes on and on too!

I’m getting toward the end of the first disk of the first season of SOAP. I almost forgot how funny that show was. I loved when the Campbells meet Chuck and Bob for the first time. What a scream!

Fellow Baby I left you a comment at OB about cheeses, wine and such.

Been a LONG day for me. Hope tmr. is better!

cleo I wouldn’t rule out CD just yet.

AND IF WE WRITE AN EMAIL OF PROTEST, which I did, and mentioned above, they MAY listen to us.

I know what you, gathered from the response, cleo, but I didn’t get that reply. So I guess we will see what they decide.

*AND AS I STATED BEFORE, MANY TIMES,

WELL, I WASN’T DONE YET, BUT IT POSTED ANYWAY, LOL! WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY, IS, THAT DUMB, STUPID STRIP, “PLASTIC BABY BUBBLEHEADS FROM SPACE” OR WHATEVER, IS IN THE REGULAR LINEUP, AND THAT STRIP IS SO DUMB AND STUPID! IMHO!

Yeah, it is dumb and stupid!

I saw it, Fellow Baby. I never was much of a cheese person though. My mom loved Kraft slices and Velveeta. I don’t think she ever tried that cheese in a can though. But it all turns my stomach.

This weekend I’m giving my slow cooker a workout. I’m making my second split pea soup and my first Boston beans recipe. Looking forward to that one. It obviously calls for bacon as an ingredient and rum.

Well, it’s been a rough day for me, too. And if I want to leave early, I have to go in early and/or work the weekend.

Good night.

Update on Linda Dean at Ballard Streat.

Good night people and pets.

Got it Happy, here and in the e! Lucky for YOU I FOUND SOME chocolate in my candy drawer, not fudge, but *DARK CHOCOLATE ALMOND HERSHEY BARS! SO THERE, DUDE! ;-P

Good night folks! CD WILL BE BACK SOON! IT DANG WELL BETTER BE!

Good night, everybody….. Will this be “Woody’s Finest Hour?”…

Good morning people and pets.I have four long days ahead of me. I may only be peeking, in the morning and evening most days.

I will keep checking back, I hope to see CD up and running again soon.

Good morning to the abandoned Citizens of Dog.

After having a conversation with GoComics, they say, in writing, that ’Re-running the strip, is not in our control, and is left up to the creator.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions."

So it is up to Mark to allow for the re-running of the strip or not. Don’t know how many will read this;but. getting in touch with Mark is supposed to be the way to go.Thank you,GoComics Supporta Universal Uclick Service

Mark O’Hare is on Linkedin.

Been over to PC but no one is there from here, So hi Grog, Dry, Cleo & all.

HI SUGIE!

HI CLEO! I am on LINKEDIN BUT I FORGET MY PASSWORD! HAVEN’T USED IT IN AWHILE! GEEZ!

Hi SUGIE, HAPPY,DRY, STEL, GROG, CLEO and ELDO.

I’m on LinkedIn, but I forget my password. :-/

Fellow Baby, I usually keep all my passwords in an Excel file. I hope I have it here at home. Got a request from someone yesterday who I knew in Dallas, but think is now back in China .

Good night people and pets.

Fellow Baby I have it somewhere, LOL, probably on a Post It at work! I should do what you do, I use Excel, But sadly, Have to LEARN QUICK BOOKS, SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE, PLEASE!

GOOD NIGHT HAPPY, HAVE A GOOD NIGHT AND A GREAT DAY TOMORROW!

Fellow Baby, I recently got the upgrade to Quicken. I gave it a raving review of 2 out of 10. Im sure they’d get their act together if they had any real competion in the area of budgeting. With every new release, they have been taking one step forward and 2 steps of late. But the accounting function is pretty easy and hasn’t changed all that drastically. Should be easy, peasy for you.

I’ve got a pea soup ready to cook overnight. Then I’m trying out a new recipe for beans when that’s done in the morning. If my timing’s right, it’ll be ready for dinner – with maybe a spicy sausage.

Thanks Fellow Baby for the positive “EASY PEASY!” I hope so! I will let you know, going to an overview meeting on the 28th, my co-hort and friend in a neighboring county has been using this program for a few months. She is going to the meeting with me, and bringing her spread sheets to show me how they do things, and since both counties have pretty much the same programs, I should learn something, I HOPE!

The first time I heard that expression, Fellow Baby, was a Red Dwarf show. The original Holly said it.

Good morning people and pets.

Not going to be as long a day today.Mt middle client canceled.Water circulation pump at the pool is down.

Good Morning Grog, Dry, Cleo & all the CDers who refuse to leave.

This is my home away from home.The people here helped me keep sane, when my world became less than sane.I’ll not give up on it.I will keep comeing back…

STILL WAITING HERE, GOCOMICS! WE WANT CITIZEN DOG, PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE?

I like that idea.

Good night people and pets.

Good morning people and pets.

Have you a nice photo of your pet?

Happy she is LOVELY! I have pictures in my photo library here on my laptop but I don’t know how to insert them into the comment box. I could make them one by one my avatars to post for a day or something, but they wouldn’t be very big pictures.

Great photos Happy and StelBel

God Morning Grog, Dry, Cleo & all CDers who are still out there.

Good to see everyone still coming here!

So Little Max certainly does get around! Does this mean Happy and you Stel could maybe become grandparents soon, :-)

NEED I SAY MORE?? WOOT! WOOT!

sugar, Pooch Cafe isn’t at all my cup of tea. I much prefer Little Dog Lost and Red & Rover.

I like the sappy stuff, StelBel, which is also why I like Red & Rover. Even Louie at Overboard gives me the occasional “awe” moment. But I’d want to keep a dog like Poncho chained to the dog house under 24 hour surveillance, with a guard on the guard.

I don’t think I’m going to make it to the end of the game.I’m cooked…

Good night people and pets.

This just in: I won’t be watching the superbore.

I’d rather watch paint peel than watch a Seattle game.

Well GEEZ FELLOW BABY! YOU WON’T BE ROOTING FOR PEYTON? I AM SO DISAPPOINTED! And I must say, this should be a good Super Bowl, though Seattle was way “off their usual tonight”.

You have to get used to Poncho! He is a rather sweet, feisty little dude, just give him a chance! But I agree with Happy, this will reboot I think. I have seen this happen with other classic strips, they do come back, give it a week or two. Or less.

KEEP HANGING IN HERE FOLKS! CD SHOULD RETURN IF WE DO!

Fellow Baby, there are teams I just don’t watch under any circumstance, and they be the Seahawks and the Texans.

But I will be rooting for Peyton, without watching the game.

As for Poncho, I gave him about a year I guess, and decided to clear a slot for another strip I wanted to check out….which I think I’ve also discarded recently.

Time to tucky uppy. Good night.

Good night Groggy.

Why do you ask “Where’s Godot?”, ELDO?

Yes it did, cleo.

Good morning people and pets.

AW POOEY! I was hoping since it was Monday, this would start over!

We need to keep writing. I wrote once, but will again, politely of course!

Good morning Fellow Baby, cleo, and sugie!

And anyone else dropping by.

Does Number Six have a special interest in PC? He keeps trying to get everyone over there. Meanwhile I will stay here on CD till forever.

Good Morning Grog, Dry, Cleo & all CDers who are digging in for the long haul.

Oh for all you football nuts (like I am) out there

Omaha, Omaha :-P

Long pass into the end zone and TD !!!!!!

YAY

THIS IS A LINK TO THE FIRST CITIZEN DOG STRIP IN THE ARCHIVES. I JUST LEFT A COMMENT THERE. WE COULD MEET THERE, THEN MOVE ON TO SUBSEQUENT PAGES EITHER ON A DAILY BASIS OR WHEN THERE’S TOO MANY COMMENTS ON A PAGE.

CLICK HERE:May 15, 1995

WE CAN CREATE OUR OWN REBOOT OF THE STRIP!

That’s an even better idea, StelBel.

WOW – I had no idea that this was going on. Just got done reading four days of comments. PHEW!!!

See you at StelBel’s new location.

CLICK HERE FOR OUR NEW MEETING PLACE AT CITIZEN DOG, MAY 15, 1995

I’ve got to go to work tonight.6:00 to 9:00 or 9:30 or…

Why am I so bummed out?

Good night people and pets.

GOOD MORNING,Cders!!

CLICK HERE FOR OUR NEW MEETING PLACE AT CITIZEN DOG, MAY 15, 1995

Good morning people and pets.

I can’t believe everyone is still posting here. I read StelBel’s comment at Pooch Cafe and decided to check this out. WOW! They need to get this comic started up again!

Whoops! Sorry Happy and Perkycat ! I hadn’t refreshed our re-location page, so I didn’t realize that you both had already posted there.

mightaswellbe : take note.

I’m there as well, from time to time.

This was the last strip? Are they going to restart it?

Good morning people and pets.

It actually ended back in 2001 (the strip ran in newspapers 1996-2001).

What we’ve been reading are re-run strips from years ago. The strip up above these comments is the last strip Mark O’Hare did.

If you’re interested in accompanying the loyal fans of Citizen Dog in their quest to read the strip from the beginning, click this link:

CLICK HERE FOR OUR NEW MEETING PLACE AT CITIZEN DOG, MAY 15, 1995

That will be the very first strip for Citizen Dog that is in the GoComics archives. If you look at the very bottom of the forum comments, there will be an image to click on for the next strip in the series.

It’s a rerun strip.It ended long ago.We are hoping that it re-boots into another re-run, run…

Good night people and pets.And Mark.

(…sigh…)

It’s only been a little over ten days and already 230 comments. Maybe if we make enough comments, they’ll restart the strip.

I guess it’s time to start another story line for this strip. As they are sitting on the dock, a dolphin swims up and talks to them in dolphin. Not so strange, the dog understands him. The dolphin asks what they’ve been up to lately.
