How to End Your Comic Strip

March 28, 2022 by Scott Meyer

There it is. I predicted that it would take around six years to rerun them all, and I was right. This is nothing short of a triumph for my ability to perform basic math.

You still have my gratitude.

So, now that I’ve rerun them all with comments, what will I do with the comic strip now? The answer is, “Something.”

Will I post them all again, this time without commentaries? Maybe with different commentaries? Or maybe I’ll write new commentaries commenting on the old commentaries?

Or, will I do . . . something else?

Please keep checking the site and see!

How to Announce the Imminent End of Your Comic Strip

March 09, 2022 by Scott Meyer

It looks like this strip originally ran in July 2015. That’s weird. I usually make my major announcements on April 1st.

Huh, looking at the calendar, it seems April 1st is coming up soon. Hmm.
