Fortunato_NC's Journal: The End of "Lost Sheep"?

It's a sad day for fans of comic strips. After failing to land a syndication deal, Dan Thompson has decided to end his online strip, "Lost Sheep". "Lost Sheep" follows the adventures of George, a sheep who decides to leave the flock and seek his fortune out in the world. He rents a room from Joe, a kind hearted man in love with Liz, who owns the neighborhood bakery. Also living with George and Joe is Frank, a wisecracking, surly parrot.

It's weird. Crap like "Garfield" and "Cathy" sells tons of merchandise and millions of books, but there isn't room on the comics page for a great, smart strip like "Lost Sheep". It's a crying shame. The only upside of this is that Dan has decided to continue the strip in a bi-weekly format, at least for the duration of his contract with uClick. Here's hoping some syndicate comes to their senses and offers Dan a contract so that we can return to seeing the daily adventures of Frank, Joe, and George.
