Bill Watterson Would Be Proud
-or-
Death Is The Mother Of Beauty


Scary-Go-Round was an excellent comic. I ranted about it to friends, family—anyone who would listen—and I read it faithfully ever since I found it, sometime during my sophomore year. Now it's over. John Allison had the guts to end his beloved comic and wrap up the narrative it had spun over many years, and his blog post on the subject indicates that it probably wasn't an easy task.

Kudos, Mr. Allison. A lot of hacks and talented writers/artists alike get trapped in stagnation and sameness. Your fans will never forget what you created, and will treasure the stories that you wove. May your future endeavors show similar success. Godspeed.
