==A tip of the Hatlo hat== Ideas and gags usually came from suggestions by readers, who were credited with a small acknowledgment box with a tiny drawing of Hatlo [[Hat tip|tipping his hat]]. Hatlo continued working on ''They'll Do It Every Time'' until his death in 1963 when the team of [[Al Scaduto]] and [[Bob Dunn (cartoonist)|Bob Dunn]] took over the strip. The readers continued to be credited for their suggestions, but the drawing of the "Hatlo hat" was dropped. After Dunn's death in 1989, ''They'll Do It Every Time'' was written and drawn by Scaduto, who died December 8, 2007, at age 79. King Features announced that the strip would not continue with another cartoonist and ceased publication on February 2, 2008.<ref name="ctpost">{{cite news |title="They'll Do It" ends a long run |url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=CTPB&p_theme=ctpb&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&s_dispstring=allfields(hatlo)%20AND%20date(1/1/2004%20to%201/1/2009)&p_field_date-0=YMD_date&p_params_date-0=date:B,E&p_text_date-0=1/1/2004%20to%201/1/2009)&p_field_advanced-0=&p_text_advanced-0=(%22hatlo%22)&xcal_numdocs=20&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&xcal_useweights=no |work=The Connecticut Post |location=Bridgeport, Conn. |date=2008-01-15 |access-date=2008-01-16}}</ref> At the time of Scaduto's death, King Features was distributing the panel to more than 100 American newspapers.<ref name="ctpost"/>
