man hydrant

Well, folks. The end is here. It's been fun. This is the last stick figure comic you'll see at /s for a while. More details to come to tonight. Right now, I need a shower.

On a side note, it seems to me that this definition could apply to a lot of things.

UPDATE: As soon as I get a break from work, I will do another post explaining what's going to happen with /s. For now, you may pass the time reading some of my older comics.

Man+Woman Comics is a comic about men and women.

Circles & Squares is a hybrid of a cartoon and a comic strip.

Those of you who haven't read them before can pretend this is an update of 50+ comics! Woo.

UPDATE 2: The daily stick figure comics are now at popstrip.com

The end? You're somehow suddenly either gaining time to draw non-stick figure comics, or spreading out some more detailed drawings, or stopping altogether? To whom will I pose rhetorical questions now?

Note: I'd tap that upright pipe. Without stealing an xkcd punchline.

That was pretty good. You don't know how many times I have thought that. Always thought Larry Flynt designed it, or whoever he was in his former life. Never addmitted it to anyone till today. Admitted it to Julie when she read it. She laughed. I guess I have admitted to thousands today. But no one knows me, whoops you do. Oh yeah Mike my son does. OH NO my daughter in law does, what she must think of me now. And Matthew is going I was shorted I only got two to nurse. Hey, give me a call lost your number.Butch10 months ago#1792reply

Man and WomanThere's secret strips! It runs up to 30 I think, in the URL change the actual number at the end rather than trying to go further ahead from the home page!5butjam10 months ago#1805reply

Blasted sounds so bad, but that's what I did too ... just couldn't stop reading! Please keep posting, sir.Duck10 months ago#1809reply

Steve, whatever may be happening, I wish you the best. If you're going to finish with the sticks and start something new, then great, let's hope it all turns well, but if you're starting a new series, expect me to be there.

Funnily enough, I was one of the riffraff SMBC pulled over, yet I still prefer to follow many things online, so kinda my type of deal.(I did go back and read every singly comic on this site, also finding out about the title text too)

As long as your decision doesn't kill your creativity, then we're all good I suppose.

Oh, and one more thing. Ladieees.Raven10 months ago#1810reply

ReturnOr else. I will have to resort to those secret measures available only to coder's of questionable integrity. That's right... i'll petition that google forces you to return, and failing that, use my Mafia connections. If that falls through, well, i'll just have to make a series of ominously red huge countdown timers until your return.

This is not the end, just a little PR stunt. I'm calling your bluff fro. This clob is here to stay! Oh and for all you so called fans out there, I bet some donations would help SWB continue to excite our poor little brains.
