If you will look closely at the strips you will notice, in small print, that
says "Copyright 1982".  These are simply reprints of 4 year old strips.  (How
soon we forget!).

BTW I recently read an article that said Berke was out of the hospital and
would be starting new strips post haste.  Hopefully by next week we'll be
reading fresh new adventures of Opus and the gang (and finding out where
Cutter John is!).
