Sunday Morning Funnies: Spies and goodbyes

Daily Quests and WoW, eh? have both updated! Slash AFK is still down, but there are rumors that it may not remain so much longer.
Also, I would like to remind readers and comic artists about the new deadline, in case you missed it last week. Comics must be in by Thursday nights, EST, to make each week's list that publishes Sunday mornings. If you publish Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, or even very late on Thursdays, your comic will appear on the following week's list.
Sadly, Tokkar has an announcement to make. He posted it in last week's comments section, but I will feature it here in case anyone missed it:
Tales from the Crossroads is drawing to a close. The current story arc is very short and will be wrapping up in the next three weeks. I simply don't have time to continue doing the comic with my new job (and its commute from hell) and other projects that I'm working on (writing, videography, video editing, researching information and maintaining two websites with completely different content).
Tales had reached a point in the storytelling that makes for a great closure, so I ran with it. The site will remain up for those who are just discovering the comic who'd like to read it all the way through, and those who want to re-read it.
It has been a joy to create, and thank you to everyone who has visited, re-tweeted my tweets, commented (both good and bad) and made Tales...well...fun!
The newest installment is up now, and will be featured here next Sunday since my updates aren't by Thursday (grin) so head on over if you want to see what's transpiring.
Love you to all!
-- Tokkar
We'll all miss Tales from the Crossroads! I'm glad that it will remain up. I hope that you will continue to check in on us every once in awhile, Tokkar.

Here's a tearful farewell and a cup of cherry grog raised high to Tokkar! Thank you for all the enjoyment that Tales brought us. May you prosper well in your new job and everything else you do, and I hope we'll still see you around the comments!
Hip hip... LOK'TAR!

Signed up just to thank Tokkar for TftC - have enjoyed it every step of the way. Good luck in all your new projects, sir. The Crossroads won't be the same without you!
Lok'Vadnod is in order...

I would like to take a moment to thank everyone. The list to thank individually would be very long indeed, so I would just like to take a moment here and thank those on WoW Insider specifically - Amanda, Shawn, Reverendi, Erik, Kelly, Alex, TimerZero and everyone at Out of World, Liala (and the numerous variants thereof), and if there's anyone I missed, it wasn't intentional.
Tales from the Crossroads has been a lot of fun to create and I find myself saddened that it's drawing to a close. When my schedule improves (probably this coming Autumn), I may yet again revisit the characters, but they would be cameos in another comic only. The IFR group has been disavowed by a sharply-dressed goblin with an obvious inferiority complex that she makes up for with severe attitude, plus the way in which I am closing it, it's definitely a final chapter in the book. No room for a Michael Bay sequel or a Uwe Boll adaptation. :-)
And with that, I'm off to work. Have a great week, everyone!
