Talk:Steve Roper and Mike Nomad

message: I would like to propose deletion of the link to the "memorial lounge." Anyone object? Especially "jgbook," who apparently added it? It was a good idea at the time, with further discussions of this strip, but with unmoderated junk ads filling it, it's become an embarrassment. SteveRoper (talk) 05:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll easily join a consensus on that. Per WP:EL there is no guilt in removing a yahoogroup link ;) MURGH disc. 14:13, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

message: After John Saunders' death , Fran Marera made some changes in the strip . Most notable of these was that Steve Roper was brought back to co-star status in the strip ( Presumably leaving his poker games with Barney Google at the Superannuated Strips' Top Men's Club Cabana aside . ) , with the Sunday strips dedicated to adventures of Steve and the daily continuing with Mike Nomad-oriented stories , this in itself being a change from the strip's long-established pattern of continuous daily and Sunday continuities .  Furhermore , the graphic grid of the daily strips cahnged too , with the rigid two-panel pattern of the dlies that had held for many years being changed for a more open look . as the story demanded .
On a less creative front , the post-Saunders daily strips became remakes of old stories , with every full story in the daily continuities post-Saunders being a retelling of an old story . Furthermore , some panels in these remade stories were repats of panels used when the first version of the story was done , not newly drawn ones . ( On some occasions , the reused panels had some alterations made to them for the Mk. II versions , however . ) The last full daily story told of Mike's involvement with a young widow of a Marine killed in Iraq and her child . In the original version from the Eighties , her husband's death had occured in Lebanon .
To the "Fran Matera" poster... (I came across your comment while editing and can no longer locate it.) Thanks for the encouragement. The additions are fully documented when referring to outside sources like Saunders' own interviews and autobiography. When they refer to what happened when in the strip, I take responsibility as one who has read and studied the entire strip from beginning to end, and have most of it in digital form for documentation.

message: What the hell is "male 'soap'" referred to in the article?
If we figure out what it is, can we provide a reference page?

thread_title:  Male soap? 

message: There is a lot of great information in this article, most of it cited although sometimes not very precisely. The article's WP:TONE, though, is very non-encyclopedic, with a lot of POV terms — things like "In a gripping climax" and "he leaped for love in his late forties"? I've tagged the sections and will try to work on these and hope other editors will do the same. --Tenebrae (talk) 17:22, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
