Johnny Hart, creator of BC and Wizard of ID, just died -- what does the syndicate do? Decide to keep the comic running IN PERPETUITY through various clipart and story ideas supplied by Hart's children.
I'd have to scale down and reformat the comic too much, and cut down on the dialog too much, and pretty much castrate the comic too much just to make it fit in to the traditional newsprint format, and after all that the most likely outcome is that no syndicate will be the slightest bit interested.
