that's all folks

The end announced

That's all folks is a phrase signaling the end of something, originally the closing line of Looney Tunes cartoons where Porky Pig stammered it over concentric circles.

Now used more broadly to announce completion or wrap things up, often with playful finality: I submitted my last assignment—that's all folks!
