Some interesting news especially the stuff about Jason Alexander, Jerry Stiller and Estelle Harris making new shows. Can anyone tell me what the Lockhorns comic strip is?

1)Wednesday, December 31, 1997-Stars look forward to life after Seinfeld
HOLLYWOOD -- What's next for the cast of Seinfeld?
Variety says Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jason Alexander appear to be getting post- Seinfeld work lined up.
Universal reportedly is interested in developing a show around Alexander, while Louis-Dreyfus may work with her husband, Brad Hall, who created The Single Guy and recently signed a development deal with Aaron Spelling.
Jerry Stiller and Estelle Harris, who have elevated domestic bickering to an art form as Alexander's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Costanza, are said to be discussing a show based on the Lockhorns comic strip.
Michael Richards, who portrays Kramer, is expected to concentrate on movies but Seinfeld's plans are less certain.
2)Tuesday, December 30, 1997-No patience for you!
The man who was the basis for Seinfeld's 'Soup Nazi' loses it
NEW YORK (AP) -- Al Yeganeh has no patience for those who confuse him with the Soup Nazi character he inspired on NBC's Seinfeld.
Just ask Babita Hariani, a reporter for WABC radio, who made the mistake Monday of asking Yeganeh during an interview to say the Soup Nazi tag line "No soup for you!"
Yeganeh hates the name Soup Nazi, hates the tag line, and hates it when tourists and others ask him to say it. So naturally, the famously short-tempered soup chef flew into a rage when the reporter asked him to say it yet again.
Hariani said Yeganeh took off his radio headsets and threw them at her. "He was yelling, 'Get out!' and chasing me out," she said. "So as I was running, he threw them and I grabbed them. He was right on my heels the whole time, cursing and screaming."
The commotion was broadcast on the radio, although the obscenities were deleted.
3)Wednesday, December 31, 1997-Jerry Stiller sad -- and grateful -- at Seinfeld's demise
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Jerry Stiller isn't thinking "Serenity, now!"
The decision to cancel Seinfeld after this season is not calming news to the veteran actor who plays George's irritable father who spews catch phrases like "Serenity, now!"
"It's rather sad that this is happening," said Stiller, 70. "I hope this generation of viewers sees this show the same way I look at The Honeymooners and The Jackie Gleason Show. They don't go away."
Decades after appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show with his wife and comedy partner Anne Meara, Stiller has been in demand.
"Since I have been on Seinfeld, I have done four plays, three on Broadway, and had a hip replacement," he said. "I have been able to do everything I have wanted to do and crammed them into the last year of life all because of Seinfeld."
