Capt. Neal hasn't been heard from for years. Why is everyone still talking
about him? He was thought provoking, controversial, entertaining, and
capable of bringing out the very best, and worst, of his readership. I
suppose the pressure of being "Capt. Neal" was not worth the effort to him.
Perhaps one day he will gird up his loins and re-enter the fray, but I doubt
it. He probably has neither the desire nor the strength to reprise the
character. Like Pogo, Capt. Neal ran out of material and nothing more
remains to be said.
