I always had this idea that 8-bit would never fully end.

Sure the main quest line with them stumbling and murdering their way towards Chaos and the immediate aftermath would end, and so would regular updates.

However every few months Brian would get great idea in his head and make another comic. Not as part of some grand squeal or relaunch, but just a humorous strip in the wake of the main comic. Maybe regular updates would resume for a bit if he had some mini-arc rolling around in his head, but otherwise it would be something you looked for on a quarterly basis more than a several-times-a-week basis.

There are several side character's to be explored, and the main ones have enough quirks to keep fresh comics coming for another 1,200 strips.

Or maybe he's just getting completely tired of 8-bit and will delete the sprite sheets once its done.

Either way, I've loved it since I started reading waaaaay back in late 2001 and I look forward to the final strip.
