This appears to be a "teaser" ad campaign, possibly with the only goal
of getting people to read transit ads.  Your list is incomplete, however
(you forgot fred).  The complete list as of this morning (courtesy of the
DGP TTC Transit Ad Watchers Club) is:

"Doris, Come home.  All is forgiven.  -Harry."  all 'r's are offset up slightly

"Go stuff it, Harry.  -Doris"   all 'a's are offset up slightly

"Come on, Doris.  Rover misses you.  -Harry"   (typewriter error unknown)

"Doris, Forget Harry.  I'm free.  -Fred"   [back of buses]  (error unknown)

"You're a dog, Harry.  Leave Rover out of this.  -Doris"    (error unknown)
