It was a great run while it lasted. Now it's back to hanging out in the automotive section of my local Super America.

You know, this last Wigu has me reminiscing. Was the old "When I Grow Up" the strip with the car that ran on hate? I keep thinking it was...but it might not have been.

yeah, what IS up with the new tattoo? i expected that, if there were to be another tattoo, it would be topato. from the coloring, it looks like hugo, or possibly a california raisin.

i am glad you have quoted neutral milk hotel in your subject line. way to make my day even as you wrench my heart in your icy, vise-like grip.
love, the communist daughter.

Personally, I think Wigu had a good run, and it was a cute look into one normal week for one boy's not-so-normal family. I'm looking forward to what Jeffrey has in store for the next thing.

I'm hoping by 'last Wigu ever' he's kinda screwing w/ us. As in starting mid January he'll rename the strip to 'Paisley's Little Brother' or 'Revenge of Stupidetta' or perhaps 'Awesomalope... why the pick?' Maybe it'll just get renamed 'Topato' as it's a catchier name.. and he did just come out w/ all those snazzy TopatoCo logos.

Anyhow... if this really is the end of Wigu.. this new comic better rock quite thoroughly and make me laugh until I forget all about Wigu.

Hey, I'd just like to thank you. Wigu was one of the key players in creating my love of webcomicry. It's been great and I look forward to what you come out with next.

I've just read the last Wigu comic: AMAZING! Thank you Jeff for making the best comic ever!

Oh, ache, the last Wigu.

But I got my copy of I was a Teenage Billionaire Psychopath today, so that's something, I guess.

Dear Jeffrey,

You made a damn fine comic. Again. Your stories had heart, and soul, and a little guy made out of poison. I never knew what would happen next, but you delivered hilarity time after time.

I don't know what else to say, except thanks.

I hope the next one is also a story comic.
I love the stories.
Stories are A+
Thanks for the love Wigu is

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for making an awesome comic. The final comic made me laugh, as many others did. Very appropriate, very cool. Thanks again, looking forward to your other stuff.

You evil bastard! First you get us hooked -- then you jack up the price. And the price is no more Wigu!

I know that makes no sense, but I'm drunk.

There is a speed limit on how fast heart strings can be broken. YOU HAVE JUST BROKEN THAT LIMIT, Jeffrey Q. Rowland.

Look i don't do this commenting shit much, so appreciate it.

Wigu was a very funny comic, and even the ending was great. A vasectomy! The ultimate deus ex machina.

Kepp up the great work.

When W.I.G.U. went the way of the dodo, I was all, "What the hell?! This guy is on crack, this "Wigu" thing can't possibly be as cool!" And then I was proved horribly wrong and was beaten with whips by sherpas. So this time, all I'm gonna say is, "You bastard! Your comic was totally awesome, thank you!" I don't know why I called you a bastard. Also, this time I will not think the new comic can't be as cool. No, I will believe in its awesomeness from the beginning. Please, sir, call off your sherpas.

Stop having expectations about the new project! You're making it hard.

I would like to live in a cage sometimes.

There is a LJ overcomp feed, it's http://www.livejournal.com/users/overcomp/

I've only been reading Wigu for a year & still feel the loss of not seeing the first two thirds as they came. More strongly than this new loss.

...Change happens.

I'm looking forward to 17/1 as much as I do to each new OC. Wigu, the only comic linked from j.orlingrabbe...!

It makes a Simple Spankmonkey, very happy.

This comic makes me sad. And that's hard to do... seeing as how I'm a Ska kid.

Maybe it's all a cruel, cruel prank to suck the joy out of peoples lives.

OMG! Jeff is going to live in a cave! OMG it will be the best cave evar!

I can hardly wait. Already my house seems somehow un-cave-like and wrong.
