Brenda Star put on furlough
In Saturday's strip, Brenda Starr is called into B. Babbitt Bottomline's office and given the bad news. "I can't afford to pay you anymore," he tells the reporter. Mary Schmich, who writes the strip, says that "as far-fetched as some of the plots in Brenda are, I do like to keep it topical."
