Caroline and the 2000th Strip

Del veranstaltet eine Party, auf der Caroline ihren 2000sten Comic präsentieren soll. Genau da aber liegt das Problem: Caroline steckt in einer Schaffenskrise und weiß nicht, was sie zeichnen soll. Unter Aufbietung aller Kräfte versuchen ihr die Freunde auf die Sprünge zu helfen, doch erst Richard findet einen Ausweg. Er rät Caroline, sich am eigenen Leben zu orientieren. Das hat schlimme Konsequenzen für ihn.

There's to be a big celebrity banquet to celebrate Caroline's 2000th strip, but there's a snag: Caroline is completely blocked in terms of fresh, funny ideas. While everyone else waits for her to get ready (Richard in a cheap rental tuxedo which gradually disintegrates), Caroline fantasizes about what life would be like if she retired. When she tearfully refuses to attend the banquet and does laundry instead, Richard gently points out that she has stopped writing about her real life in the strip (her fictional counterpart is ""still dating that veterinarian"") and perhaps it is time to bring her readers up to date -- and Caroline immediately draws a strip about their first date on the side of the washing machine.
