RIP Yehuda

I'm sure I'm not the only one saddened by the ending of the Kickstand Cyclery, am I?

I am sad to see the comic go.

I'm not sad to see the comments section of the comic go - some very
odd items there.

I am also curious what happened that made rick decide to stop it.

Oh... that's too bad.  I'd been following it, but hadn't checked in a few days since the last few times I went back it had the other be back message...

Ah, let's see - lack of readership? I know he wrote about that which we all love but he was not very (just a little) funny, insightful, creative, etc.

Nope, reading the strip over breakfast very morning has been one of the delights of the past year or two. First three things I checked every morning was Yehuda, Calvin and Hobbes and Cul de Sac.

I'm sad to see it go, have some vague hope it might be back some time, and have *no idea* of the amount of time something like that must eat up and take away from family, friends, etc. It has to be considerable even when not running into the inevitable writer's block and such.

My thanks to Rick for his hard work and labor of love! I hope he enjoyed it as much as I and many others did. The strip deserves a little mention in the "Lauterbrunnen Leaflet" some time.

I also enjoyed it over the years and was a patron at one time or
another. This isn't the first time he's hung up the pen, so to
speak. And yes, I was tired of the comments. Luckily, when looking
at it through Google Reader, the comments never showed up.

Wonder if it was in that dead zone where it took a lot of time, but
didn't make enough money to be a "real" job?

Yeah. Deeply.

He crafted some good, interesting, real characters and maintained a good
insight on human nature. And made me laugh regularly.

As I know from some other friends, making a go of it as a cartoonist is a
tough task.

Thanks to Rick for the sharing that with us. May there be a way in the
future to make it work for you.

It was the first site I would go to every morning. I am going to miss
Yehuda, Joe, Thistle and especially Fizz starting off my day. Hope
someday Rick has the space to restart them. RIP indeed

That strip was always a ray of sunshine in my daily routine.   Rick, if you're keeping an eye on this thread, thank you so much for the laughs, and please consider having '09, '10 and '11 printed as you did with '08.
