Pia Guerra deserves a good chunk of the credit for that. The artwork in that scene was just beautiful. What else has she done?

Beautiful end to the series.
This took me back to when my rabbit was dying and the vet gave her an injection so she wouldn’t feel any pain. I took her home and held her just like that till she died.

OK, I quit reading Y a very long while back, but I have to say that is one of the most touching moments I’ve ever read. Thank God I have my own office, because I’m tearing up at work.

And as someone with a sick pet at home, Brian I could kick your ass for posting this.

On a par with the episode of Futurama with Fry’s dog.
I hope there’s a few people familiar with that…

I thought that he was sick/old, and Yorick gave him a poisoned grape-”putting him to sleep” so that he could bury him by Agent 355

He was dying of natural causes, but Yorick obviously couldn’t stand to see him in pain and used the poisoned grape to help him on his way (he was under the impression that it would be a painless method)…

Aw jeez, here I go again… keep thinking of a cat I had when I was younger…

Damn you, Vaughan and Guerra! Why did you have to do it so well??

I cried like a baby when I read that the first time. . . and I just got misty eyed again. Damn monkey.

Hold up, am I reading this correctly in that he had something in that grape to kill Ampersand?

Awesome scene, but does the monkey die of natural causes? I thought that he was sick/old, and Yorick gave him a poisoned grape-”putting him to sleep” so that he could bury him by Agent 355. Still awesome either way.

I loved all of Y, but that scene was the best of them all.

Never read the book, nice art though.

dude – heartbreaker of a scene. and way cool. that series was so well written that I didn’t think i really cared for the monkey all that much until he was gone. kind of like real life and people that pass out of it.

great selections so far.

Man, that scene got to me enough when I originally read it. Now that I have a dog, it’s even worse. Great scene in a great book.

I’ve never really been able to understand any of the people who complain about the last issue of Y. This scene alone is makes it a great issue and to know that Yorick went on to live a full life; full of pain, love, beauty…etc is so rewarding to me. It’s a great cap to a wonderful series.

Reminds me of the ending of Old Yeller.

That scene just got me AGAIN. So beautifully done.
