Xark!

How blessed are you?

Last day on the payroll

My newspaper career ended last year, but my buyout officially ends today. Hey, at least I got paid longer than those people who hung on like grim death only to get laid-off last month.

What comes after this? We shall see.

EPIC FAIL

The last Friday cartoons

This one will run on Aug. 29...

... and this one will be the last of my cartoons to run in the paper (Sept. 5).

These Tuesdays when I stay home and draw have been my saving grace over the last 18 months. It's the part of my work routine I'll miss the most.

The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes vander Xark

My last day working at the paper (I'm taking a buyout) after more than 14 years on the job will be Aug. 22. As things work out, that means there are just four more caption contests.

I'm going to miss those.

The Newspaper Industry Meltdown

Two weeks of cartoons

The next two weeks (I'm on vacation) of blank cartoons (already posted at Xarktoons) for the caption contest, with my super-secret personal captions affixed. 

"Crap! We haven't even finished mopping up the last one!"

"I'm going to have to have a looong talk with Yoder."
