Coincidence? You Be the Judge!

After 86 years, the final Little Orphan Annie strip will appear on Sunday.

After 39 years, the final Doctor Demento Show will be broadcast this weekend.

Not a good weekend for American institutions.

This weekend we still have Little Orphan Annie and Doctor Demento, but next weekend they will be gone. I'm just being cheeky :)

I'm thinking more people will miss Dr. Demento than Little Orphan Annie.

Out of curiosity, does anybody still read "Prince Valiant"?

It's being written by Mark "Xenozoic Tales" Schultz now, and more entertaining than it had been for years.

A group that puts on musicals here is doing Annie in November. Talk about your coincidences.
