On the Couch gets top billing today, as this is the final strip in the series.
It's been a fun 10 years creating and sharing stories about this wacky cast of characters. Wendy going to "imagination boot camp" and realizing her own power was an old idea that I had, but knew it would have meant the end of the strip, if I ever told that story. When I initially decided to end the strip, I had trouble figuring out what I would do to give it a proper send off and finally, I circled back to the idea and realized that that was the ending I wanted.
So, one last madcap adventure followed by harkening back to one of the earliest comics but with a different twist became a fitting end. These characters are still a big part of my life and I know most of them will still grace the pages of my personal sketchbook for years to come as they offer me unsolicited advice and provide a bit of whimsy, and I hope they brought you all a little bit of laughter along the way.
As always, thanks for reading!

Well, I’ll miss OtC – the whole concept of ‘characters of my imagination turned live’ was interesting and amusing (though I don’t hope it ever happens to me – some of my characters are even more unruly than this gang, and my flat is a lot smaller than Wendy’s). But all good things must have an end.
So now what – will you start some new project or concentrate on Life on a Stick (or have you even decided on that yet)?

For now, I’m going to enjoy only managing one comic! I have some ideas percolating for future projects, but that’s for some far-distant future. I’m glad you enjoyed On the Couch!

Thank you SO much, that was one heck of a ride!
I predict though that you will miss them, in due course 😉

I will definitely miss drawing this comic (it already feels weird not posting them every week)!

Glad this ended on the high note. I came late to both comics through thedevilspanties.com, and really enjoyed them.
Will we still get to see the Halloween group “photo?” Love those even though I never guess them all…

I’m so glad you enjoyed reading this one (and Life On a Stick will continue to update!)! I’ve toyed around with maybe coming back to do the Halloween group photo, but it really all depends on whether or not I come up with enough good costumes for everyone.
