Slackerz Abruptly Ends. POS Chokes a Bitch.

Scott Smith has posted a big long dealie about ending the comic after reenacting the end to "Mostly Harmless" in the latest strip.

Meanwhile, XKCD will apparently run for eternity, now at the point where it is recycling its own convoluted math jokes and CAD is pretty much totally still just CAD and it always will be. I could list the continued existence of terrible fucking webcomics all day, not make a dent in the numbers, and mostly just waste everyone and--mostly importantly--my own time when my point is already made. That is, if nothing else, we at least have solid proof that there is no ingrained sense of justice in the universe.

I guess mostly I'm just pissed off that there's this seemingly endless sea of absolutely terrible webcomics with a finite amount of little islands of something good, and I don't like those islands floating off the edge of our flat, turtle-mounted Earth as they so often do.

So best of luck to Smith and Hepting in their future projects, of course. Yours was one of only a handful of webcomics I checked regularly for updates, and it will be missed. My library of reaction images just won't be the same without your continued contribution.
