   And then there are very long re-runs while babies were being born and the people were moving cross-country, several time, chuckle. So tracking down the very very first airing does get complicated, lol.

   Nod, thanks for the pointers. I know we haven’t met yet, I’m not around here as often as I used to be. I’m from the olden days, an “old time orbster” from back before we even called it the “orb.” Chuckle.

   Nod, I agree about the retro style. I’ll confess, I’m really fond of the very early beginning work. There was something so enigmatic about their inscrutable expressions with the little dot eyes. Just like dealing with a cat, you could read so much in those little pen lines. I understand why the style morphed and matured. And of course I love all of it and have been swoony over the strip for the whole ride. There was just a more aloof ”cattiness” about them at the very beginning that was really novel, yet with a few strokes, totally nailed how cats would act/react. You could see her genius from the start.

   We had a recycler too. Didn’t work great for us though, with 4 animals shedding in the house, the fur would land in the basin and clog up the filter and pump constantly. They did like it, but we gave up and switched to big deep ceramic bowls which everybody seemed to like just as much.

   You are not the only one. There was a huge drop in ratings after the big day. Nothing kills a story faster than resolving the relationship that was driving all the tension. the whole point of most stories is the luring the reader/viewer along with the suspense of “will they or won’t they?” Once the question is answered, you better have characters in the wings to take up the cause. GH focused too long on L and L. So viewers didn’t have much invested in the other characters. It was a noteworthy misstep in hindsight that screenwriters still talk about.

   I agree. I’ll confess, I’m getting a tad confused about which versions are original canon and which are from the reboot. Is this a brand new remake for this week? Or did she change it during the newspaper launch period when she repeated/redesigned many of the original stories to catch up the new audience and fit the new newspaper format? Doesn’t really matter, Swiss cheese brain is just glad it’s all wonderful.

   Grin, I call it my “Swiss cheese brain.” For right now, I love that I can be surprised all over again by stuff I love… when it gets to remembering when dinner is, I’ll probably reconsider, chuckle.

   Thanks, I was thinking that was the case. The years are all blurring together.

    Yeah, I think it was LE, too, which is why I don’t have it. I think I have almost all of her regular run prints. And the sales were crazy times :) What’s weird is, I was pretty sure it was a calendar page. but I just went back and don’t see it in my archive. Although I don’t have 2020. I can’t believe I didn’t grab one if she made one.
