Well, obviously I can't prove it to you, but I promise that I've been waiting all these years to drop this joke. I've mentioned in interviews for years and years I had the end planned since I began the comic.

This is what I planned.

It's not "done" done. There's some wrap up to tackle first. But, yeah. This was the plan all along. It's not the first example of a terrible joke planted years in advance in these archives. It's just the longest example.

I thought it was pretty funny.

Ah, the mighty god of the internet has given us the knowledge. People of the internet! Our heroes' quest is not over! Brian, I am honestly impressed. Waiting all these years for a punchline. A mortal man would have gone crazy. Therefore, you are a god. I love you- your comics. Yeah, that's what I meant.

So do you have an estimated date for the end of the series? I'd imagine it would be pretty bitter sweet seeing the comic end after an entire decade.

NO! How dare you mention the end! Blasphemous fool! You will anger the god of the internet!

Although, jokes aside, I hope it doesn't end; but it will. Eventually. Since he wouldn't let any one else touch his decades worth of work, he will have to end it eventually.

Haha! Look at me, I forgot he is a god. That means it doesn't need to end. Sorry for the false alarm folks!

What Brian needs to do is get the Scott Adams mentality on old age and comic writing. Scott believes that longevity technology will come out before he dies and he'll live several hundred years while waiting for immortality technology or something.

We just have to convince Brian that longevity medicine won't help if someone kills him for ending 8-bit theater. I need to find a mentally unstable fan (make that severely mentally unstable, since we all somewhat apply to the first) and convince him it's his destiny to make sure 8-bit keeps churning out until the world ends.

EDIT: Another reason Brian should keep going is that our failsafe is broken since the HomeStarRunner guys are MIA. We'd have to become normal if that happened.

EvilEarl. As a devout worshipper of Brian (Well, not really. That would be just a little weird) I would be willing to do this. Of course, I would be spending my life making longevity medicine before I made an immortality device. We cannot become normal. I will make someone commit suicide before that happens!

Though, quite honestly. I have no clue what the HomeStarRunner guys are. So, this failsafe doesn't quite work for me. Since I read Pokemon X I am still safe... For now.

Edit: Gah, the anticlimactisism (I am making that a word as of now) is making my typing and grammar sub-par. If you will excuse that.

Prepare to watch your life spiral down the hole of flash cartoons.

Well, okay. It's not like you've ever lied to us before or anything.

I'm not sure this is actually the longest joke setup ever in a webcomic.

Irregular Webcomic also has a claim.
