I know I'll be echoing a lot of people's thoughts here, but thank you for so many years of awesomeness.

I have a few tears wobbling around in my eyes threatening to leak at any moment, so as my vision starts blurring and typing gets more difficult I'll just say that this comic is, was and will continue to be an inspiration to me. Many a day has come by that's really dragged me down and getting to read a new OctoPie at the end of the day really perked me up.

I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next but for now enjoy the downtime and give the creative juices some time to reassemble.

Peace out!

Oh no, is there where all of those nagging little worries we had during the awesome party start coming out into the open?

I'll just be over there, the guy watching things unfold through his fingers.

Meta jokes, Spinal Tap references, Wild Wild West, and Eve being... well, Eve. It's strips like this that just make a whole crappy week suddenly feel like a distant memory.
