Bill Amend, creator of the überpopular comic strip Foxtrot, is going to be dropping to Sunday-only strips at the end of the month. Wonder what he'll be doing with his free time? This strip from the series drops a hint. We'll be sad to see the strip only once a week, but at least he's still doing it all himself.

Another great cartoon comes to the end. Not that I can blame Bill. Lord know I could not come up with this many ideas a week.

Man I am really going to miss this comic, but at least I have something to look forward to on Sunday. He also hinted that he would try to introduce his characters in some other sort of media.

Too bad, he was my favorite newspaper comic artist.

Pretty good comic, but it's usually funnier when it doesn't try to shoehorn the game references in there.
Like in that comic above.

I hope online comic archives let us go back X # of strips as opposed to # of weeks. Not fun tuning in only to find 3 strips available :(
At least it isn't going the way of Calvin and Hobbes. It did have a great 10 year run at least

Sunday only?!
I only read Garfield (I know it hasn't been funny in years), Dilbert, Foxtrot, and Mother Goose and Grimm.

Cue Darth Vader "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"
My favorite comic! Argh! The Sunday comics are always the worst too because he has to give 'em broader appeal, and the jokes are never as nerdy!

Why is this tagged with RPG and MMO? More importantly, why is this article even listed here? Sorry for the bile, but ... (boggle)
