Striker cartoon in THE SUN
Discussion
Does anyone read this?
If so, what happened on Saturday?
On Friday, scrapper was approached by some Sauid Sheik with an offer to presumably buy the land he had been lumped with.
Today, the cartoon strip isnt there without any explanation.
So what happened on Saturday? Is it all over?
Cheers

George found out that scrapper had been banging Lynne behind his back and killed them both dead by dressing as a Saudi prince, luring him to a piece of wasteland and then tearing them apart with a camel on each limb.
Pretty horrific stuff.
Heh heh, that would be good.Pretty horrific stuff.
So, no ideas then?
Friday's was the last one.

The end of Striker
After a strip failed to appear in the Saturday 8th August 2009 issue of The Sun, Pete Nash sent an email to anyone who complained about it's absence saying the following:
Dear Reader,
RE: MISSING STRIKER ON SATURDAY
Thank you for your email. Please forgive the non-personal response but there have been so many queries about the missing strip on Saturday that I shall have to reply to them in the form of a circular.
I have contacted The Sun and it seems the problem can be attributed to the fact that in a few weeks I shall sadly be bringing Striker’s long run as a newspaper strip to an end. I know my decision will disappoint Striker’s fans but I feel strongly that the saga has gone as far as it should go and I have always promised myself that I would end Striker on a high rather than risk seeing it become stale.
I would be happy to consider relaunching it in the future and have offered to produce a new strip for The Sun in the meanwhile. To date, I have not had a response.
My intention is to work on new creative projects but I also want to develop the Striker story into other formats, including a series of books and, hopefully, the first of a sequence of animated movies. I shall post updates about this on our website, www.striker3d.net, which will be relaunched in September.
Because Striker will be ending in around five weeks’ time, The Sun have decided not to run the full-page football strips on Saturdays. Unfortunately this decision led to Striker being left out completely on Saturday, which, as far as I am concerned, should not have happened.
I am sorry to give you such disappointing news but I hope you will understand my reasons.
With apologies and best wishes,
Pete Nash
The final strip appeared in The Sun on Friday 18th September 2009.

Didn't Alex have to write a report to the Sheik on the proposed land transaction but was accosted on his way to work by a rabid dog owned by a bloke called Charlie Brown?
I heard that he'd also fallen in with Andy Capp and having spent the last two days in the boozer is about to sign for Manga.
