1 Me: It's been four years since I started this comic. That's a long time to be doing a single creative pursuit.
2 Me: I never imagined it would last this long, and it's been fun, but I think this is as good a milestone as any to move on.
3 Me: I want to thank everyone who contributed over the years. The friends who I showed #1 to and they said, "Ha! Make another one!"
4 Me: Then the ones who posted links on their sites and pulled in a few more readers. In fact everyone who ever pointed friends or strangers here.
5 Me: Too many inspirational cartoonists to mention, but significantly Charles M. Schulz, Goscinny & Uderzo, Hergé, Murray Ball, Gary Larson, and Bill Watterson.
6 Me: Eric Burns for snarkage, Ryan North for letting me rip off his ideas, Dusan Jeftinija and Andy Weir for crossover madness. Jane Goodall, for not killing me.
7 Me: But most of all to you, the readers, who have shown time and again your support, in blogs, by e-mail, and in the forums.
8 Me: Thank you all. I'll see you when my next project gets off the ground.
