Re: 1190: "Time"
I hope there might be a "Making of Time" blag entry at some point in the near future.

Well, for myself, at least, and I suspect most of you, I want to sincerely thank Master Randall for a wonderful four month journey. Be well, stay well, to you, and yours.

Quick! Someone post an unclosed parenthesis! (Then the OTT can never end, even if the OTC does. (Oh, wait, I think I just took care of it.)

So it has. This looks like it's really The End of Time. But why now? Why just shy of 3100 newpix? (Aubron has it at 3097).
I mean, it's a nice frame to end on, but man, it seemed like we went from finding The Forty to landing. . . somewhere pretty fast -- too fast compared to the rest of the comic. Dang it. I want more Time!
I think this is what they call the stage of denial.

I really hope so, I'd love to finally hear from GLR on his thoughts about Time, the OTT, and how the story evolved.
Is it time? Yes.
Re: 1190: "Time"
Why geekwagon? Why not mscha's site instead? That's the One True Archive, after all! Why should GLR favor a site that uses semi-heretical meteor numbering??!!

We've moved from Denial to Anger, that's good progress for 2 NP.
And nothing's worse than Lost. Not even the Star Wars Christmas Special was worse than Lost.

To be forever referred to as the "Randall Roll".
Re: 1190: "Time"
But what an amazing thing this turned into. Over 3000 individual frames. Over 50k posts and 1.3 MILLION views here in the OTT. New cultures, vocabulary, etc. Many, many pictures of cute molpies/animals. Prophecies, popes, poems. So much good stuff.
What a ride. Thanks, Randall! And thanks to everyone here who made this fun.

It really makes Cuegan's small sandcastle on the roof seem heartbreaking and bittersweet, doesn't it?

This. I would have never guessed that a one frame per hour animation of a pair of stick-people would have ended up being one of my favorite stories and I wish to thank Mr Munroe* for the experience.
*Starts to cry*
*And everyone in the OTT.

Re: 1190: "Time"
I predict that Time will now just repeat a couple frames with the flag waving. The End will remain though, as it is in fact over.
Also, I really hope that there is a Blag about this. We want to know more GLR, please enlighten us.
