No place for Alley Oop classics and original fans?
It makes one wonder...
After the Alley Oop board, now that the Trucutu boards have vanished too, the true Alley Oop fans are left with no place to express themselves or to share the classics. Okay, they can express themselves here, but where does one go for the Alley Oop classics? It makes one wonder that why does the current regime despise the long time Alley Oop fans so much. Many moons have passed, but yet many of the classics haven't been updated for Alley Oop, with large gaps that exist today between the classics on the Go Comics site. It makes one wonder that were the current creators jealous that fans were more interested in the classics than with their new nonsensical version? It makes one wonder that is that why they silenced both the boards where the fans shared the classics?
It makes one wonder that why are people deprived of the classics. With book readers and newspapers fading away, and the digital medium taking over the preferred medium of comics readers and enthusiasts, it makes one wonder that why aren't the Alley Oop archives updated? After all, Alley Oop has a great significance in American comic strips and culture. They may have made a vile mockery of it with the current New Alley comic, but why the step-motherly treatment to the classics and original fans? It makes one wonder that don't the comics site folk have all the classic strips yet? Or don't they have the rights to all of them yet? If they do, then why the delay in closing the many gaps in classic strips? And why not allow comment boards for only the classics, while disallowing comments on the current comic.
And with the new nonsensical Oop, it makes one wonder that who are they pandering to? To the current or upcoming generations who don't read daily continuity comics in the first place? Are today's kids supposed to read it? What example does this parody-like nonsense set for them? Alley Oop is not a brave, decisive, and strong-willed action hero anymore, but he's just an overgrown childish wimp in the current iteration. An overgrown childish clownish loser who's a sideshow in his own comic will have an adverse effect on children. This childish clown Oop that we see today is not just a mockery of original Alley Oop fans, but also a mockery of original Alley Oop and the original creator too.
It makes one wonder, doesn't it?
