300 – Stepping Back
WOW. Number 300!! It’s a bit mind boggling. I know that I’ve mentioned a million times that I gave myself the original goal of 5. I hate to bring it up so often, but it’s something I think about every time I write strip number in the post title. I can’t believe I’ve gotten this far, but at the same time, it feels natural that I got this far. As soon as I started it just started to roll and didn’t stop. And it’s still going with no end in sight!
This last 100 has brought a lot of new things to the strip. Mick started to really make a mark in the strips when it was revealed that he can communicate through social media (story starts here). We were introduced to Cherry and Vince, The Cafe Rawk baristas, when Imy FINALLY got a job (story starts here). Mia, Imy’s older sister, returned when she moved to town, giving Imy a new reason to live (story starts here). And, last but DEFINITELY not least, we got to take a step back into Imy’s childhood, several times, to explore her roots (story starts here).
I hope you’re all having as much fun with the strip as I am and that you’ll continue with me on my journey to 400! Thanks for sticking with me this long. I do this strip for myself first and foremost, however, I’d be lying if I didn’t say that my loyal readers is what really keeps me going week to week. Thank you!
Many congrats, Irma! Here’s to 300 more!
Thank you, Tom!
Woo-hoo! Congratulations! Looks like I’m going to have to catch up…
Get crackin’!
Woohoo! Congrats and big hugs! xx
Tackar!
Yay, congrats Irma! 😀 Here’s to many strips to come! 😀
Thanks! That’s the plan! 🙂
Woo Hoo!!!!! Congrats Irma. I LOVE reading about Imy. She makes my week!!!!
Thank you so much, Jeni! That means a lot!
wow 300!.. I mean the time goes by so fast, isnt it?! 🙂 I remember when Imy (well you actually 🙂 ) changed her hair colour, it seems like a while and here you are with the 300 strip 🙂 AMAZING…
so congratulations and I hope we will see many more great story lines (I love all of the new things going on, but my favourites are MinImy and Mick of course 😉
Yes! The hair color ones were within the first 20! So that was AGES ago! So wonderful that you’ve ben reading that long! Thank you!
Aaah… the good ol’ year. 1987.
Yeah the year of a great big ‘ole stock market crash. Woo!! 😉
Grats on 300! Looking forward to 400. I look forward to Imy every week.
I love that, thank you!
You should have tied them all together. Imy comes home from work, gets a tweet from Mik to go into the other room, only to find Zoe in there playing the game, which makes Imy revert to childhood!
…nah… `grats on 300.
Ha! I should consult you before #400 😉
When I read this strip, I thought of Narnia…
Yes! That was partially my thought 🙂
Happy 300th! 😀
Thanks!
I really like how the color changes when she goes back in time. Congrats on 300! 😀
Thank you! I like using that color shift sometimes when going back in time like that. Helps the reader, I think.
Okay… Why have I never seen this magic door in MY house??? I’d be all over that. Congrats on #300 Irma!!!! Glad to have this much Imy to read ;0)
Thank you Dawn! Yeah I’ve been looking for that door here too!
300. Congratulations. Now you just need to start the next book. And mailing stuff from Sweden took less time getting to Colorado than something I had delivered from Florida.
Yes! The next book will be in the works soon! I can’t believe that you got it faster than something from Florida though!
Another fine job! Congrats on 300, Irma.
I wouldn’t mind a door like that, myself. It would be awesome to go back to 1987 and rock out to KISS and Iron Maiden with 13 year old me!
Thank you, Marc! I think I’d be heading back to a 7 year old self who was playing with She-Ra dolls 🙂
Happy 300! On to 400!
Time travel! Awesome 🙂 Prepare for some seriously mind-wrenching-paradox…
And huge congrats on 300 (that’s three hundred!!) strips! Could that BE any cooler? It could not. Looking forward to a couple of thousand more 🙂 So, live long and prosper!
300! Wow! I think this deserves a shoutout:
THIS IS… IIIMMYYYYYY!!!
Super congratulations, Irma! I know a thing or two about what a HUGE milestone this is. You should feel really, really good about this.
Congrats on this great milestone, Irma. Here’s to 300 more!
Irma, what a great strip for #300. You really have a magical sense of nostalgia in your comic, as well as a great respect for your characters and what drives them. here’s to many more Imy strips!
Irma – congratulations on #300! I remember reading the “No Snow” strip back in 2007. Seems like yesterday (I’m almost getting misty over here)…
Keep up the great work.
This… is… IMY!!!
It sound even funnier when I say it out loud, now that I know it’s “Ee-mee”.
Congrats!
Hey Irma! 🙂 I hope you have a great rest of this year. 300 strips is just the start of a long road ahead and I hope you have a blast every step of the way! 😀 Rock on!
I remember when Nintendo first came out; my Atari seemed so tame next to it…
Wow… 1987 means the world had 7 years to go before me coming along… YEAH IMY though :p (sorry if this comes out bad. I’m ddoing it on my e-reader)
