I just spotted “Pasghetti and meat bulbs!”, the punchline, if you can call it that, of an old Family Circus panel.
“He’s guilty! Guilty! Guilty!” might be another Bloom County line — the jury shouts it at Senator Bedfellow’s corruption trial, to which the judge replies, “Thank you. Mind if we begin the trial?” Or words to that effect.
Anyway. . . awesome ending to an awesome strip. Thanks!
“Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!” is classic Doonesbury, from the college/Nixon years. Mark Slackmeyer shouts it into his radio mic about one of Nixon’s top aides.
DSL—later adapted to he’s “flawed, flawed, flawed”.
As for the Bloom County Bedfellow trial, that was “He looks guilty. He smells guilty. He IS guilty! We recommend he be fed to giant Iranian goat-eating cockroaches!” To which the judge thanked the foreman–young Milo Bloom–and asked if the trial could begin.
Really, I just don’t see Annie letting Chuck walk out like that, now that he’s been invested with all of their secrets. She’s never been portrayed as terribly sentimental where her people are concerned. So she tried to bribe him to stay, she wants that gun…she gave him a choice. She’s a little weepy because now she has to off him.
That last panel, with him walking away, fading indistinguishably into the bubbles and the whitespace that are all Anne can perceive of the world.
ReCaptcha agrees with me that you are a todig among todigs.
Perfection.
Wonderful!
But…
What happens next?
I got misty over this.
Touching.
Temporary.
Dude. The negative space bit on this totally rocks. You = awesome.
Captcha sez: out gacies
Chuck’s outta here, John Wayne Gacy!
There IS a heppy land furfur awaaay..but not for Chuck & Anne.
That face on Brown is the most expressive, most emphatic expression Yungbluth has ever drawn in this strip. Bravo.
That one panel touched me in ways that Father O’Malley never could.
I just realized how far gone I am. I don’t even like Bloom County and I totally know where “prayer pimples for hairy fishnuts” is from.
Hmm…say, where’s Snoop? Is Snoop gonna give Chuck reason to reconsider?
amazing. I can’t wait until November to see what happens next!
Nothing left to do, nothing left to say. No where really left to go I guess. What now?
I think it was “pear pimples for hairy fishnuts.”
I’m trying very hard not to feel bad about this episode. It’s not working.
JY: Thanks for the catch, Katy. I’ll fix that dialog for the print version.
She’s probably knocked up with his kid from their happy go round earlier. Chuck 2.0
This is probably the most touching scene we’ll see! Bravo!!
Well done Mr. Yungbluth. Could not have been better.
It’s been an incredible few years. Sad to see it end, but you did an amazing job.
Chuck got his rocks off. Way to go! Way to leave! Chuck’s the man!

Dimes on Chuck finding Snoop shacked up with Sandy and refusing to go.
BTW. Nice Annie-vision.
Nailed it, dude. Great use of negative space, terrific expressions, nice job.
Also, “Prayer pimples for hairy fishnuts!” made me laugh. Possibly the greatest Bloom County line ever.
there’s also a famous Doonesbury line in there among the ‘noise’ balloons. Makes me wonder bout the rest.
Far Side quote too.
Wow. That look on Chuck’s face. So much emotion. Is that…..tenderness?
“Where’s Snoop?” was set up eight or nine updates ago, and so far no answer.
Chuck’s walking away with his back to Annie. She’s listening to him go.
Chuck knows an awful lot about these people, their location and their plans. He’s dangerously close to trusting someone.
None of this bodes well for a good outcome.
I knew I should have stopped! Now it is too late, too late!
Wow, it makes Gone With the Wind look like a reality TV show! Great work!
– (Aw, I just have to say it!) I guess she didn’t see that coming!
Soon…so very soon…the Syndicate will burn. And it will be a bittersweet burning for us all.
The only line I recognize is the Mustache one, which I’m pretty sure is from Garfield.
He’s going after the syndicate isn’t he?
Fortunately, WB has the extend feature on his arm, so he does not have to stoop forward, knocking the poor blind girl over.
And I absolutely love Panel 3. Bravo Maestro!
So does this imply he is considering returning after finishing some other business?

Tragic. Torn.
I get it! Funny Papers! 🙂
So…that’s the end? 🙁
JY: Heavens no! There are a few more pages yet. This would be a classy note to end on tho’, wouldn’t it?
No one else noticed the story tag for “noise?”
Sure, that “scuff scuff scuff” could just be Weapon Brown walking away… or nothing at all… but it also could be… who knows!?
I dunno. Maybe JY will pull a Dallas and this was all be a dream Beepo had after polishing off a bottle of Jeremiah Weed in a grain silo.
Few more pages? awesome

Where’s Snoop?
THIS JUST IN– JY, CREATOR OF BEEPO, DEEP FRIED, CLARISSA AND WEAPON BROWN, WILL BE VISITING DALLAS.

what the hell, yo.
I’m just glad he finally kissed the girl with the curly red hair.
