On March 31st 1997, comic artist Bil Keane was finally driven over the edge by the combined tension of income tax evasion, quarrelling children, substance abuse, and a feeling of gross inferiority brought on by years of impotence. He raged through the neighborhood, hospitalizing dozens of well known comic characters, accounting for the "combined strips" of April 1st, 1997. His worst crimes involved doing unspeakable things to the dog Puddles from the Luann strip with a kitchen fork. Retaliation from Luann and her brother Brad have left Keane with permanent and embarassing disabilities. -- from The Sordid Truth Behind the Funny Pages, 1st EditionVice Pope Doug
