The Home Stretch

Cowboy poet hacker thank you very much.

Oh man will this be good. WOO! CLOSURE! Will it get to 200 strips? That would be totally amazing if it did.

In Response to gormster (#31169):

Well, we're at 134 now, so I'm guessing we might fall a bit short.

In Response to jon (#31171):

Being able, as we are know, to look forward to see the end, and know that it is an end and it is in sight, leaves us pondering the ever metaphysical and yet often misconstrued nature of the events to follow.

That is, having once reached an end, even if it is only a smaller end, does it not call for yet again another beginning, and so recapitulating the much philosophized nature of the expanding and contracting universe - and having recapitulated have we not also managed to reinvent and reinvigorate and also, and this is the heart of the thesis for which I am about to attempt, reinforce the juxtaposition of light and dark, color and hue, tone and hemi-tone, joke and lyrical meta-abstraction that makes up the thing we call "Goats".

In short, we are left to ponder the unanswered final swan song of the magnum opus of Aaron Sorkin, his evening of atheletics...

What's next?

In Response to zamphir (#31172):

Well, if told you what came next, it'd ruin the ending, wouldn't it?

And you're really enjoying your newfound critic status, aren't you?

In Response to jon (#31174):

I think I was making fun of my newfound critic status.

I'm just asking as a way of finding out if there *is* something next.

In Response to zamphir (#31175):

That would ruin it too.

In Response to jon (#31174):

Screw 'critic'. The physics community wants the data on the contraction part.

Cowboy poet hacker thank you very much.

Any "former large-animal veterinarian" in there?
