Good comic, and an excellent example of "Last Panel Syndrome."

Is the last panel necessary? Would the comic have the same impact if it were not there? Would the joke have been better if it were left blank?

I could list any number of dramas that went on too long: Castle, Law and Order, CSI, almost all Star Treks. The interesting question is not 'that' they jumped the shark but 'why'. Which is why I love theses comments as well as the article. Keep them coming, Eddie.

And, Jonas G., I think you have a bit too much of a personal investment in TV. Hunt down that hot, blonde secretary and ask her out.

I once had a massive crush injury. My main symptom of rhabdomyolysis was a long, deep, dreamless sleep punctuated by being almost too weak to get out of bed to use the restroom or get food and water.

Might I add Ira Glass' quote for beginners:

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”
