Perhaps it would have been a pity.  But as I said in the message you
quoted another line from, it doesn't just repost that strip, it also
contains a long autobiographical piece.  Or more precisely, as James
Drew, j...@lynx.frame.com mentioned:

> ...autobiographical strips entitled "Coming Out Story," The Power of

And while I'd always like to see more new stuff, I don't feel the
need for her to break out of any ruts.  The plot synopsis you propose
doesn't fit the strips I remember.  Mileage varies, and all that: I
expect you remember a few that annoyed you, while I remember a few
that amused me.
