Thank you for chronically the lovely ladies of Apt 3G which is now the only place you can go to read about their banal "adventures." I put on a comedy show in 2018 where a cast and I recreated the bucket of suds/umbrella/taser lady attack scene and many told me it was the highlight of the show. So bravo, thank you, and carry on!Tony Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358306440268458315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143347688871886297.post-81905291175282806312021-11-05T12:09:12.197-04:002021-11-05T12:09:12.197-04:00RIP, Margaret Shulock.RIP, Margaret Shulock.TimPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143347688871886297.post-29662665921609858632020-11-12T17:45:16.392-05:002020-11-12T17:45:16.392-05:00Just FYI, there's a link: https://t.co/cSa2sO4...Just FYI, there's a link: https://t.co/cSa2sO4TqP?amp=1 to a survey about bringing back Apartment 3G.

The transition period in itself is a story which can be told through various perspectives.

I would also read the "Lovely Ladies of Apartment 3G" to laugh at the jokes. I haven't looked at the strip or the blog for a long time, though. So here's my question: why did the artwork get so sloppy in recent strips? My guess is everyone agrees that Alex was a better artist than Frank Bolle, but still, even Frank Bolle used to be pretty decent. I hate to be so critical, but judging by the obvious deterioration in the drawings, the strip should have ended sooner. Incidentally, the best soap strip art to me was always Juliet Jones in the 1950s-1970s. But it went downhill too. In later years, it looked more like Dick Tracy. I'm not exaggerating. Take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143347688871886297.post-43587390321116545882016-01-12T14:28:05.632-05:002016-01-12T14:28:05.632-05:00This is looking like Luann ends up with that weird...This is looking like Luann ends up with that weird bald guy! No way! Not in that way!<br /><br />Here's how I think the strip should end...<br /><br />The professor continues to do what he does and be awesome. <br /><br />Tommie confesses her love and affection for her best friend Luann, stating that she has always had feelings for Luann especially since her husband died. Luann is clearly moved by Tommie's confession. The two hide their attraction to one another from Margo, not knowing what she would think. The three go to an art gallery show, with Tommie going as Luann's date. Margo picks up a date at the show and stays at his place, while Tommie and Luann are bored with the show and go back to the apartment, where they make love and sleep together. <br /><br />Eventually, Margo reconnects with Tim Mills' widow, Nora. Although Margo encouraged Nora not to give up on her husband, when it was confirmed Tim had died, Nora found an attraction to Margo. On a visit to Nora's place, Nora asks Margo to dance with her. The two share a slow dance, followed by a few kisses, and the two share a romantic evening together. <br /><br />When Margo admits her new relationship to Tommie and Luann, both Tommie and Luann come clean about their own relationship to Margo, admitting to being afraid to let her know of it. The trio then shares a group hug. <br /><br />Margo then moves out of the apartment and into Nora's place. After Margo leaves, Luann admits to Tommie that she misses Margo, despite their frequent disagreements. Tommie then consoles Luann in her arms and says she misses Margo too. Luann looks up at Tommie and tells her "At least I have a life to look forward to with you." The two then share a hug with a few kisses. <br /><br />Margo and Nora are then seen sharing a slow dance on the roof of their apartment, with Margo lamenting that she misses her roommates. Nora then comforts her as well. Margo then says "So I guess I will smile and move on." Margo and Nora continue their dancing, and share a long kiss in front of a bright moon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143347688871886297.post-57124821549738809832015-12-27T10:27:17.519-05:002015-12-27T10:27:17.519-05:00Same bwebster...

I think King Features said that they couldn't get quality (and/or complete archive)versions of strips earlier than that. If you subscribe to the Comics Kingdom site you can read past strips but you won't find any strips early than the one posted this past Monday.
