Default The End of Bob and George is Nigh

In today's newspost Dave Anez announced that the end of the "grandaddy of all sprite comics," the ever-impressive, the well-contained, and never duplicated Bob and George has entered the final stretch. He admits that I'll be several months and storylines into the future, but I still found it to be a shock.

This is a thread to reminise about BnG. This is a thread to share quotes, stories, our first memories, etc.

I know how I found Bob and George. I was led there through a chain. I stumbled across either Kid Radd or A Modest Destiny first. No idea which one. Probably AMD led me to KR, which led me to BnG. It was like no webcomic before or since. I wasn't that much of a MegaMan fan back then, but I am now. I especially liked NT Warrior, but that's another story. Anyway, there I was, and here I am years later, depressed that The Big One is ending. Sure hope Dave finishes the commentary and Cataclysm movies first, though, maybe set up a Radd-type offline archive.

Shadow Man: I am Shadow Man. I can exist in the shadows.
Mega Man: But the lights are on! There aren’t any shadows!
Shadow Man: A true ninja can hide in the shadows of bright light.
Mega Man: What? Now you’re not making any sense!
Shadow Man: That is what you get for playing Monopoly with an Eskimo of the night.

"That is what you get for playing Monopoly with an Eskimo of the night," is a personal favorite, as is Shadow Man in general. He's so cool.

Gemini Man 1: Resistance is futile. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will—
Gemini Man 2: You idiot! That’s the Borg, not us!
Gemini Man 1: Oh, sorry, I always get those confused.

Plus Dave's a Trekkie, so we enjoy plenty of these jokes.

Mega Man: I’m the hero! I don’t have to make sense!

Truly a motto most heroes can and do ascribe to.
