A Fond Farewell

Friends, FTF10ers, random perverts... I come not to bury Lightfoot but to praise him... after ten years - and yes, it really has been that long - Lightfoot is bowing out from the Stone of Adventure a sad day to be sure but everything comes to an end eventually. That said, I'd rather Lightfoot do it on his own terms than just burn out and disappear like many an artist... actually, I'm pretty sure most artists either disappear without any warning or ragequit... and the occasional death/faked death.

Anyway, we should all appreciate the IMMENSE contribution Lightfoot has made... I have gone out of my way in the years that he has been active to make sure he gets recognition for his tireless work and effort... Ten years and hundreds of pages of comics. LITERALLY hundreds of pages, all free to the boob loving public and that's not to mention all the pin-up stuff he did AND all the gift art for jokers including muggins. So, I'd say - don't plead with Lightfoot to go, he's made up his mind and he knows what he's doing... he could scarcely have articulated upon his reasons and plans otherwise. Best to keep your dignity and his intact and just doth your hat to him and wish him the best of luck in whatever endeavours he chooses to undertake next.

Also, in unrelated news - well, I suppose I could have segued by saying Lightfoot was going to take his leave after the tenth anniversary and speaking of anniversaries - it's the third anniversary of #FTF10 - hardly seems so long but well, next year I can make the four more years joke! Hoorah and cheers to #FTF10!

  1. Would you consider offering to host the old comics? Shame to think they'll be disappearing from the web...

  2. I've already offered Lightfoot free hosting but he's still weighing his options.
