This has been my favorite front page article ever since a slow work day had me binge read all of the articles.

Is this the last update? The ending sounded pretty final.

Maybe? It's always a lot of fun. I hope it's not but all things come to an end eventually.

It was a great run if this is the end. I'm sure Livestock can come up with another setting where everything turns to complete chaos and mayhem over the updates, so I look forwards to whatever new series that takes over. Those are the best type of Livestock articles in my opinion.

If this is the end, then so be it. Great series I really enjoyed!

Now excuse me while I run some no-good rockabillies off of my front yard!

If it is over, I hope it gets some kind of published. I'd pay for a (physical) book.

If this is the end and not a transition, at least we got closure and then some. Barkwire just stopped one day, and we never found out who killed Hope.

TOO SEXY FOR DEMOCRACY
Glad you guys enjoyed the series. It's been a lot of fun to write, and again, I totally ripped off the Tiger Mike memos (linked at the end of the first article). Those are definitely worth reading. I'm sure I could have squeezed more mileage out of Bare Cave, but I felt like wrapping up at least one thing before the end of the year and my glorious retirement from regular writing here on SA.

And yeah, I totally dropped the ball on BarkWire. I feel bad, since I did a lot of planning and more or less know how I want to end it, but lost all my momentum to second guessing myself. Maybe some time I will try to finish it? Behind the scenes talk!

What shall we do with him? A permaban, perhaps? Probate him for a few years? Or...shall we employ a big red custom title? You, the goons of SA, shall decide his fate.

You're kinda-sorta retiring but not? Fuuuuuck. Do you write anywhere else? And how many regular writers will SA have left?

Yeah, I don't have much to add, but I'm gonna miss seeing your writing here for sure. I got hooked on Dear Mr. Mayor and Skymall Product Reviews, and uh pretty much everything you've written is golden. So thanks! I am of course rereading the DynaMars saga right now.

Corn Dogs- Deep Fried Proof Of A Loving God
Just wanted to say; I've always loved your articles, and Bear Cave's been a great one. I hope it's more of a semi-retirement than a full-on departure, but I'd also be interested in knowing where else I can find your writing.

Thanks guys. After 15 years, I need a break from trying to be funny. I don't really write humor anywhere else, unless you count tweets. I might still write the occasional article here, but have no plans to do anything like this elsewhere.

Don't retire. You're the one most responsible for keeping this place Something Dogful, as it should be.

You're easily my favorite writer and it sucks that you're retiring.
