Big Top To End March 25

image

Rob Harrell is probably hearing a lot of of folding-up tent jokes these days, or a lot of people are holding their tongues given the cause: his Big Top strip feature from Universal will publish its last episode March 25 and the strip is in some sort of re-run/flashback mode until that time. In this article at Editor & Publisher, Harrell cites professional and financial reasons. Although the client list remained modest since its debut in 2002, Big Top was considered by strip fans of my acquaintance to be a quiet, quality strip and perhaps simply one of those features that was ill-suited for survival in today's feast or famine market for newer comics.
