100 – Just a Reminder
Oh my God I DID IT!! ONE HUNDRED COMIC STRIPS. I can’t believe this. I know I’ve said it a million times before but I have to say it again. When I started Imy more than a year ago I never expected to get this far. My goal was 5. All I had to do was 5, and then see what I thought. And now look! I’ve done twenty times that amount! I wanted to do my own comic strip for a very, very long time. But I never thought I would be able to come up with ideas and be witty enough. I guess I proved myself wrong. I’m so proud and so happy. This comic strip is probably what I am most proud of, of any of my past creative ventures. I have no plans on stopping. I have so much in store for these guys, I can’t wait to keep going with it and make it to 200!
Thank you all so much for sticking with me. The support I get from you guys is beyond anything I could have imagined or hoped for. It may just be the pure exhaustion from doing this strip and the lack of sleep this past month, but I’m actually getting teary-eyed as I type this *sniff*
I hope you’ve all enjoyed the last 100 strips! Now fasten your seatbelts because it’s just going to get a lot more fun!
I LOVE YAS *smooches* Now excuse me while I wipe away the tears and go collapse into bed.
Thank you so much everyone!!!! And thank you so so so much for reading and supporting me!!
Edited to add: I just thought of something… I hope everyone realizes that each picture references a particular strip from the past, but they are NOT panels from those strips – they are brand new scenes. I don’t want anyone thinking I just copied old panels LOL It was all freshly drawn and new! I spent HOURS on this!
And don’t forget: If you’re a member of Facebook, become a fan of Imy! And, if you’re a member of MySpace go be Imy‘s friend! And, if you’re a member of Webcomics Inc. join the ‘Imy’ group page.
Congratulations on hitting 100, Irma! And you did it with a great cartoon too. Keep on rockin!
Awesome! Way to go Irma – what a great accomplishment. And a great 100th strip to boot. I won’t be surprised when I’m typing the same thing in your 1,000th strip! Keep on truckin’.
You’re the best! And so is Imy. Love ya! *kramas*
Congrats to 100! I’ll be here as long as you keep making them.
Hey, congrats on 100 great IMY strips..My interent experience is much, much better because of IMY..I hope you never stop the strip..Can’t wait to see where you take the characters next..
Good job Irma! I’m so glad you made it! 😀
huge congrats!!
love the montage.
keep on rocking it!
Thank you so much everyone!!!! And thank you so so so much for reading and supporting me!!

I wondered what became of that shot Jay took as she was leaving the doctor’s office! 100!!! WOOHOO! Congratulations! Awesome “greatest hits” kinda collection.
Okay, I know you’re waiting for it: When do I get to lick Kat? 😉 I’ll leave the shirt lifting up thing alone.
me! – YOU ROCK! Even my husband didn’t realize that that was the picture Jay took at the optometrist. When I pointed it out to him he thought it was so cool LOL And Kat doesn’t even look too thrilled about Imy licking her so, don’t get your hopes up 😉
Yes! Haha, I thought they were new – I particularly like the ‘suprise photo’ top center and the cheek-licking on the left *edited out word to avoid weird sentence*.
Way to go Irma, this has been so much fun – I’m hoping that you have considered getting Imy published somehow, in a magazine or similar – it is, in my opinion, on the same level as Nemi, which I love too. Good job so far, and best of luck for the future! *hugs*
Irma Congratulations! on 100 of a great comic strip! do i hear 200?
Great job! Congratz! Onward and upward!
Excise you, eh? Consider yourself taxed 😉
Congratulations! Now for 200! Considering you did 20 times what you originally had planned, 200 isn’t too bad…That’s only twice as many as you’ve done!
Congratulations on the big one, oh, oh! An excellent concept for this momentous occasion. You should be proud of yourself and your accomplishments. A wonderful comic with a good grasp of what makes everyday life funny and enjoyable. Looking forward to the next 100.
Congratulations to 100 cool comic strips! 🙂
I guess that means that she really made a tatoo out of Kid Rock’s autograph, since she lacks the eyepatch in that picture. 😀
Congratulations on 100! Here’s to 100 more!
Isabell Ha! Glad you realized it! And as for publishing – I guess it’s something I should really start considering. And let me tell you, you MADE MY DAY saying that you put “Imy” on the same level with “Nemi.” TACK SÅ HEMSKT MYCKET! 😀
TammieThank you! 200 is definitely coming… It’ll take another year at my current pace, but it’ll happen!!!
Mark & Orcbuddy – Thanks!
Lou haha whoops! I have to go fix that now!! And thanks! Yeah, making it to 200 doesn’t seem like such a leap after getting to 100 😉
Navarion – Haha!! Last night, after I went to sleep, I suddenly woke right up remembering that I didn’t put an eye patch on her for that one. I had remembered it while I was drawing, but forgot before i could go back and fix it. Then I was going to fix it today, but figured I only wanted her to have an eye patch in one of those pictures. I also figured that she was able to remove the eye patch shortly after the concert, so the autograph may not have washed off completely yet 😉
So, no… she definitely DID NOT get it tattoed. I should probably have a belly shot of her soon so everyone can see that there is no tattoo there. ha! I know “me!” won’t object 😉
Josh Thank you!!!
Congrats, Irma! This brought back some good memories. 100 strips is quite the accomplishment. You should be very, very proud and Imy is a quality strip and it’s even tougher to maintain quality over such a long haul.
Congrats on 100! I remember reaching 100 strips and being proud, but a little unnerved, at how much I had grown and changed as an artist over that time (unnerved because I didn’t realize how many things I was doing wrong at the beginning). Being a fellow artist, I’m sure you had a similar reaction.
Anyway, thanks for a great 100 strips. A lot of webcomics are marked with sarcastic, insulting characters, who don’t command much empathy. In contrast, I always find your comic sincere and the characters refreshingly honest. Keep up the great work.
I sent you a twitter congrats but damn it if i didn’t forget to come here. Congrats, sister. That’s great news. The 100th strip is beautiful too.
.. thank you for this gorgeos comic strip.. I “fall in love” with Imy (though I have never read comic strip before) from the first moment I found this website ( which was btw total coincidence! but I am really happy for that :o)).. keep doing it pls… and congratulations to your 100th strip ;o)
Imy-fan from Slovakia :o)
Congrats
I finished this for you 30 minutes ago and started at noon: http://fake.life.name/?id=44
You can’t tell it very well but there’s a mainly white glow around him in that.
Keep up with the good work! Because accidents happen, you might drop your tablet pen and stab your foot, you never know. ;P
CONGRATULATIONS!! This is an excellent way to show everyone how truly awesome this comic is and how interesting Imy’s life is, i love it!! Is there anyway you could get me a ROCK shirt? i love that shirt so much! it….”ROCK”s!!
Congratulations! And what a great 100th strip! I love it!
Ah, okay. 😀 You can already see a bit in #92 ‘Sunday Worship’, but I thought it may be still under the T-Shirt. So I definitely have nothing against a belly shot. 😉
Grattis Irma! You Rock! Kram, Annie 🙂
Brock – THANK YOU! I am very proud, yes! And It always thrills me to read how much you like it!
Tony – Yes! Exactly! It’s crazy to look back and see how different it all looks now, and how much I’ve learned along the way. It’s very cool 🙂 And thank you!
wit – THANKS! Glad you came by, since I never saw the twitter ‘grats!
Mirka – Thank you! I’m always happy to hear about new fans! I hope you continue to return!
Doug – Hey Doug that’s pretty cool! And very sweet! THANKS! I’m interested to see though that you think I have a lot of accidents at my desk… ?
Gilly – Thanks! Yes, hopefully people who stop by for the first time now will see this strip and be inspired to go back and read everything!
Cyndi THANKS!
Navarion – Oh my god. You’re right. I’m so silly! The HEADER has a belly shot in it. I see it so often I’ve grown blind to it!! haha!
Annie Thanks girl! See you tomorrow!!
Congratulations baby! You’re doing a great job with your comic. It’s really taken on a life of its own over the past year. I’m very proud of you! 🙂
Sorry my reply is late…but…
CONGRATULATIONS ON 100 STRIPS! #100 TOTALLY ROCKS too! \m/ \m/
I know I wasnt here from the beginning but Ive been here for a while now. Keep on keeping on…
So…any thoughts on doing the strip 3 times a week? 😉
100! Whoohoo!
Congrats Irma; 100 strips and still counting! I’d contribute my own fan art If I knew how to do it… have a great one (no, not Jackie Gleason) 🙂
Yay! Congrats on making it to 100 strips!
…but why talk about having kids like it’s some forgone conclusion? It’s still up to you as to whether or not you actually have any…
Just sayin’.
