Nightcrawler is sad. So am I. Time to find a way to budget in the books I suppose...

Yay! Congrats, Shaenon.

I was totally convinced that this whole "happy island ending" the past week was going to end up being a Matrix-like continuous loop used by Dave to pacify Helen-the-brain-in-a-jar. You know, call it the Brazil ending. Or Newhart, depending on how you like to look at it. :)

I'm happy to say I've been reading Narbonic since the beginning. Man, was that a long time ago, huh? So much has changed... I'll miss not having new Narbonic to read every day. It's going to feel weird for a while, I think!

Oh, and awesome tattoo. :)

Thanks for the wonderful story!

I'm looking forward to buying your 'boxed set' of comics!

ooh la la...you've lost weight.

And congrats on the finished strip ^_^

YOU'RE FREE!

I haven't really. It's just a flattering photo. And, of course, tattoos are very slimming.

Great tattoo, Shaenon! Congratulations on finishing a long run of a great comic strip, and thank you for many years of laughter and reading pleasure.

I hope that one day you and Andrew will join us at quartercon! And we'll keep you posted on our Golden State itinerary next August; you'll know in advance when we're in the San Francisco area. :-)

Thanks for a fantastic story! (great tattoo, too. ;) )

Woohoo! Congratulations! And bitchin' tattoo. :)

Congratulations on one helluva run! Go, you!

Tattoo looks awesome! Now I can't do one for my comic 'cause everybody will think I stole the idea from you. *pout*

Everyone should get commemorative comics tattoos. It is rad as hell.

Ah, truly the end of an era. *snf*

But the director's cut sounds like it'll be interesting.

An elegant ending to a wonderful strip. Congratulations!

Congratulations, Shaenon! Love the tattoo, too. Rowr!

Thank you for a fabulous strip. You never missed a beat! And thanks also for the opportunity for evil plotting and hijinks.

Happy new year! May it bring you many more chances for intriguing and challenging work!

SWEET! Congratulations! Major accomplishment! Bitchin' tattoo!

It's over.

*sniffs*

I need a moment, hold on a sec...



Congratulations!

Congrats!!

Tattoo: Bitchin'

Cartoonist: Hawt

Narbonic: OVER! WAAAH!

*sniff* Thanks for the gerbils, Sarge.

There are some cultures where the end of a person's life is cause for festivities, where their achievements are celebrated. Although Narbonic has ended, it has ended gloriously, and enriched the world of comics.

Awesome tattoo, beautifully designed.

So, is the Director's Cut going to be compiled later on into some sort of super-anthology?

Gorgeous tattoo! So nice! And well inked, too.

re: narbonic= *sniffles* congrats on finishing it, and I guess it's time. I remember fondly being introduced to it with pride in 2000 as a freshman ("there's no more RATIO, but there's Narbonic!"), and now I'm a grad student and stuff. Still, *sniffles!*

It's been a heck of a ride. More so for you than for me, I am sure, but I have appreciated it nonetheless. I wish you the best of luck in everything in the new year, and those to come.

And that Narbonic tattoo is kickin' rad. :)

Thank you for so many years of entertainment. And not just entertainment -- consistent entertainment. Narbonic has never failed to make me smile. Ever.

You rock, Shaenon! Rock, I say. Like a fantabulous rocking thing.

Thanks so much for sticking it out right to the end! Narbonic's been a daily routine of mine for a very long time, and while I'll miss it, at least I can rest easy with such a well-wrapped up story. Great job all round!

Shaenon! Youu look like you are going to leap astride a harley and harras the police!!

(And YAY NARBONIC!)

Congratulations Shaenon!

I re-read through a couple of months worth of strips last night in anticipation of today's end; it was without a doubt one of the best crafted comic strips I've ever read!

And now I'm really looking forward to your commentary!

I am actually faux-sobbing, the way I do when a favorite anime series ends or when I read one of those new Asterix books that suck.

Lovely tattoo, beautiful ending tribute (I need most of them as posters), now I need to call my father so we can commiserate.
