500 – Tusky
Yes, you’re reading that right. This is strip number FREGGIN’FIVE-HUNDRED.
Every time I hit a milestone I stop and look back and wonder “how the heck did I just do that?” And then I keep going. 🙂 500 is a pretty big one though. It’s not always easy. In fact, it’s often not easy. But it’s always rewarding (well.. almost.. 😉 ) and I LOVE it. As I always say, thank you for sticking with it, folks. I hope you all continue to ride this silly ride with me! 🙂
OMG 500!!!! Congratulations!
And Imy’s not horrible! I neglected my first teddy bear, Arnold (of ‘Little Bear’ fame) for more than a decade before he took a place again on my bed. I refuse to believe I’m horrible, so she’s not either 🙂
Awwwwww, I’m sure you made her feel better about it. 🙂 And I’m sure Arnold is happy to be out and about again!
Congrats on the big D! (Think Roman.) 😉
And I can relate… I look back on all the comics I made and I can’t seem to believe I have so many now. Where does the time go…
Ha! Yes I actually knew it becasue I looked it up just yesterday! I had thought it was L. Turns out I switched the two in my head. 🙂
And thank you!
Aaw, poor tusky XD
Whoa, congrats on the 500th strip! 😀 Keep it up!
Tack!
I’m impressed, you got to 500 pretty quickly!
Thank you! Is 6 years quickly? Hmmm.. I feel like it’s been very slow! 🙂
I recently ran across a stuffed monkey that I got when I was a baby. Mr. Bim – but I called him Boonky. He’s wrapped in plastic and pretty much falling apart. Poor little guy. Congrats on No. 500! Here’s to 1000!!!
Thank you! And aww, Boonky! I have my Koala (Walla – later subbed to Walla Lumpur), whose nose was torn up by my dog, but he’s in a bag at the top of my closet. 🙁
congrats on breaking the 500, keep on rocking!
Oh, also:
*clears throat*
“Oooooh, my teddy
Oooooh
One day I went into my room,
he sat there on the same spot as always,
we used to be best friends,
but that’s over, I left him behind.
Button eyes look at me sadly,
button eyes look at me sadly,
I loved you as boy,
I forgot you as man,
ooooooh…
Oh my teddy, can you forgive me,
Being adult means condemning loyalty.
You’re here covered in dust,
I stole you the best years of your life.
Oh my teddy, can you forgive me,
Being adult means condemning loyalty.
You gave me everything,
I gave you to the spiders,
Oh my teddy, can you forgive me.
Button eyes look at me sadly,
button eyes look at me sadly,
I loved you as boy,
I forgot you as man,
ooooooh… ”
