I hate saying goodbye

I just found out that one of my all-time favorite comics is ending. Only 7 issues to go, with the last book due in May 2007.

It's "Strangers in Paradise" by Terry Moore, and it has some of the most amazing character work I have seen...I'm hooked on these folks, their lives, their loves, their pain. The storyline is intricate and intriguing, and the art can be heartbreakingly personal...there are some panels that just grab you and make you keep turning back to look at them again.

SiP has seen me through some rough times in my life, and I'm sad to see it go. But I know that this last ride will be a good one...and I can't wait to see what Terry Moore does next.
