Talk:Apartment 3-G

Origin of Lu Ann?
I seem to recall that there was a different blonde roommate originally, but that she was written out of the strip in the mid-sixties, and was replaced by Lu Ann? Does anyone else remember this, or am I crazy? Jimtrue 18:24, 22 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I've answered my own question. Lu Ann was indeed on original roommate.  She was the one I remember leaving the strip to get married, to be replaced temporarily by another blonde named Beth.  Lu Ann then returned after her husband was killed in Viet Nam. Jimtrue 18:32, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Margo's hairstyle
I seem to notice that Margo's hairstyle has changed a bit. She may have been based on Joan Collins, but she looks more like k d lang with an upscale wardrobe nowadays. Maybe the article should note that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by RebelKnightCSA (talk • contribs) 21:20, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

End of the road
As stated here, industry rumors are that A3G is going to be cancelled. Choor monster (talk) 15:38, 21 October 2015 (UTC)


 * As a reminder, per WP:CRYSTAL we can't include industry rumors as part of the article. But be alert for more specific, clearly and believably attributed, confirmations. Choor monster (talk) 12:08, 22 October 2015 (UTC)


 * The strip is confirmed as coming to an end. http://joshreads.com/?p=26015 208.107.175.135 (talk) 18:31, 24 October 2015 (UTC)


 * That's a blog. Excellent blog, the source of the above link I provided, and for years now the source of 90% of my information about upcoming comics related news, but not an RS.  Choor monster (talk) 15:17, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Joe McQuaid, publisher of the New Hampshire Union Leader, made a brief mention of it in his column on October 18, 2015 ("I have since heard from my industry sources that 3-G is going to be discontinued by the comic syndicate later this year."). Other than that, I can't find any official media coverage of the cancellation.

In the online comments section for the strip on November 4, 2015, someone using the handle "Cephasatl" reported the s/he received an email from King Features stating that the last new strip will be published on Sunday, November 22, 2015. Granted that's not a reliable source, but it's the best I can seem to find. It's just very, very odd that there's no official announcement of the strip's cancellation.

Maybe we could add something to the article like this?
 * Rumors began circulating in October of 2015 that the strip is going to be cancelled later that year, but no official confirmation has been made by King Features.

 * Unfortunately, we can't do that either, without an RS! Only 18 days to go anyway.  Maybe Margo will show up in the current Mary Worth/The Phantom crossover storyline.  Or something.  Choor monster (talk) 15:47, 4 November 2015 (UTC)


 * don't have time to edit this at the moment but just gonna leave this here: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/09/business/media/classic-comic-strips-will-return-to-newspapers-in-special-insert.html?smid=fb-share --Jfruh (talk) 04:06, 9 November 2015 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks! The End has now been added.  As to whether the correct last day is 21 (NYT) or 22 (Fb), we can presumably fix that when it becomes a past tense question. Choor monster (talk) 12:49, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
