Honey exits stage right. The song Hooray for Hollywood plays as the lights dim.

It’s been a long time coming.

I’m sure she’ll be back.

And Honey begins the rounds of late night TV talk shows.

I can see Jack Nicholson playing Duke.

I thought it was DUCK (see yesterday’s strip)

Good for her.

No Honey, no money. Not funny!

5% of the gross? I’d want Sid for my agent if I ever got famous.

I think he did once.

Honey has an interesting life, but only because she hangs out with Duck. Yeah, Duck.

This must have been Before the two hour Final Episode of M.A.S.H. actually Did get a larger audience than the Superbowl.

In the United States, the episode drew 105.97 million total viewers and a total audience of 121.6 million, more than both Super Bowl XVII and the Roots miniseries.

From 1983 until 2010, “Goodbye, Farewell and Amen” remained the most watched television broadcast in American history.

“Goodbye, Farewell and Amen” was not the final show filmed, as the final season was filmed out of order. The final scene filmed for the series was the time capsule burial scene from “As Time Goes By”.

We’re friend until the end… this is the end!

Jealous much Duke?
