She asked King Features Syndicate to replace Bolle. KFS refused, out of loyalty or—more likely—because Bolle wouldn't leave and they didn't want to buy out his contract. Shulock threw her hands in the air in disgust and just stopped writing the script, maybe knowing that <i>her</i> contract would keep KFS paying her anyway. Bolle started scripting as well as drawing A3G, which is why it became increasingly incoherent as it became increasingly ugly.<br />KFS would now have to buy out two contracts in order to reboot the strip, and decided it just wasn't worth the headache.Manifestanoreply@blogger.com
