Yes, I realize that.

And certainly, if you care for your readers, then you should end it in a way that provides closure. Personally, I do not feel any obligation towards people I don't know who do next to nothing for me. Anyone who feels the same way should end their comic when they want, without straining themselves to satisfy people who don't really care anyway.

Anyway, Tetsuo, just end it on your fourth anniversarry with Natasha having (Very graphic) sex with a woman (Or women) for Eugene. (But once the fucking starts, get Eugene out of the way.)

Also, beneath all the immaturity and endless rage, John Solomon seems to exhibit intelligence, so I wouldn't dismiss him outright. I'm not saying you need to heed his criticism or anything, you should just keep an open mind. You can learn something from everyone.

In a way, there can't be closure unless this is the ending.

I agree.

Not only will you satisfy your fans, (Not to mention yourself) you can send it to John Solomon as some kind of macro (YOU CAN HAS CHEEZECAKE?!) and make his blood boil with rage.

Do it!

you could just go on as normal then throw in a little "the end".

Make your comic progressively worse and worse. Ruin it's quality until you alienate all readers. Then it'll be very easy to just stop it.

So what you're saying is you don't have a bubble butt?

Being a comic creator, it is impossible to have a bubble butt.... not with all that sitting down and stuff. It's probably more of a square by now.. ^^'

I'll introduce a new character, PRANCER THE MAGICAL UNICORN! he lives in the forest of the faeries and rides with the queen of the elves!

Is there a big job market for ex-popes?

That's so weird, a couple of friends of mine are having a conversation about the queen of the elves kidnapping people and performing anal probes.

Coincidence, eh?

Sorry folks, whether you like it or not, any artist holds an obligation to his/her audience. Once the public gets ahold of your work, it's not completely yours anymore. These are the perils of popularity.

Shishio · Post by **Shishio** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 3:08 pm

I have to agree with OBS.

If you give it a real ending, you'll be less likely to return to it.

NakedElf · Post by **NakedElf** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 4:16 pm

Whether the artist has any obligation or not, I would presume that the fact that the artist made this thread in the first place indicates that the artist feels some desire or at least openness to the idea of ending the strip in a more 'satisfactory' manner than simply stopping.

I change my vote to the one with graphic sex.
