I know I took a break doing Best Show drawings for a long while, but being part of the end of the show with all the people I met doing was the best way to spend tonight. Hello everyone and I love all of you and I am so glad this show brought us together.

Love.

I don’t want it to go, but it’s gotta go. Best Show For Life.

This beautiful thing, The Best Show on WFMU, is coming to an end tonight and I can’t take it.
