Cut back artichokes?

Hi everyone!  It's been a long hot day in the garden.  I weeded and raked
and reconfigured my drip system....  I cut back a huge Salvia apiana and
now I smell like sage scrub!

I was looking at the artichokes.  They produced magnificently this year, I
cut at least 75 chokes from three plants!  Now they look pretty sad and
straggly and I wonder if I should cut them back or let them die back.  And
if I cut them back, how far shall I cut them?

Thanks and how are your gardens?

Nan
