The Doctor Says: Fun is Officially Over

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the the-(fun)-has-ended-but-the-memory-the-lingers-on dept.

grammar fascist writes "After just less than 13 years, the first comic on the World Wide Web, Doctor Fun, has come to an end. Thanks for all the laughs, Dave. From Dave Farley's page at ibiblio: 'Doctor Fun is over. As promised, I somehow managed to finish 520 weeks or ten full years, even if it took a bit longer than ten years to get there. All of the old cartoons will stay right here as long as ibiblio wants to keep hosting them.'"

      I think my favorite ones of all time were Don Knuth finally sells out and Scenes Cut from Jurassic Park.

      Thanks for all the laughs, Dave.

    I noticed on Friday that his comic "Clothes make the Peep", was an homage to his original "Clothes make the Spam". Please, say it ain't so. I started reading this comic it's first week. I even kept checking when he took a hiatus a few years ago for several months.

    Thank you Dave.

  3. 13 years?!@#$%^ by Rob+T+Firefly · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Has it really been 13 years? Cripes, I'm getting old. Give it a few more years' worth of degenerative amnesia and I'll be looking for this strip on budget desk calendars in the mall bookstore.

    Many thanks and best wishes, David Farley. Can't wait to see what you do next!
