   I’m pretty sure that Shakespeare’s copyrights have run out. If he clearly copied a specific edition compiled by somebody else, that might be a problem.

   “Oh, tell him just to do another pineapple on pizza gag. The readers never get tired of those.”

   It’s in color for me. But I noticed yesterday that another strip was in color at one point, in black and white later, and then back to color. I’d gone back twice to check the comments. Makes me wonder how the site adds the color overlay.

   I actually prefer old strips that were originally published in black and white to stay that way, as they were when I was a kid. Sometimes they even work better that way. But I may be in the minority there.

    Apparently the bar we see her at with her friend must be a different one. But if there’s another bar in this town, or anywhere close to this town, why would anyone show up here?
