Nicole Hollander Announces The Retirement Of Sylvia

The cartoonist Nicole Hollander has announced the retirement of her three-decades-plus strip Sylvia, although re-postings of older work on her site will continue.

I used to enjoy that strip in the Chicago Tribune where it being eased from the pages seems to have been the first shoe dropping with this being the other one. Hollander's work was different than a lot of what appears on the comics page, just in terms of how she draws and how she cartoons, and I thought the Sylvia character nailed a specific type as well as anyone could be expected to do so.

Thank you for the comics, Ms. Hollander, and congratulations on your run.
