100th comic in general

Megidoth · Post by **Megidoth** » Thu Dec 05, 2002 4:19 pm

I will do my hundreth one in 24 days and i was wondering what i could do to to commemorate it.Knowing that i'm not the only one to hit it soon,i thought to ask you what you would like to see in that kind of comic.

Any suggestion?

If you must break the 4th wall (and you don't usually do so) make sure it's still within the theme you present, or that strip will be painful for you to look at in the future.

After you get a few hundred strips under your belt, you'll seldom mark milestones... but the 500th should be somewhat special.

i don't really see a reason to do something special, unless you do it on a non-update day, so it doesn't piss off any readers

I checked back to see what I had for #100, turns out its just another comic. The commemorative one was the first anniversary.

Shut the hell up, beyotch!

I think the 100th can be as important as you want it to be. For me, I used it as a way to expand the plot, and I also made it honking huge. So, basically, do what you want. Do what fits the strip.

It helps that I also hyped it irrationally and against all common sense.

Of course, I'd also like to say that it's good to have a super-sized strip, so that you can go through the same hell I did trying to get that monster finished.

I haven't hit 100 yet, but i've been around for just over a year now. (<---only updates once a week) (<---is slightly lying because there was one week in July where she updated everyday for 1 week straight. and then she swore to NEVER do it again)

^^;;;; I talk in 5th person... (<---is not sure if that is correct)

Today was my 250th comic (well, i had contributing artists for a while, but they mainly did few strips so i ended up with all the work ^^)

I did a commemorative pic, i don't know why i tought 250 was special, maybe because its 1/4 of a thousand, and the comic will be a year old soon (used to be daily, now its monday to friday)

makes you think when you compare your first comics to your recent ones....ahh the nostalgia...

An oversized cpmic it will be,on a update day(everyday is an update day^^)

I got an epiphany!I will have them party in a tavern and there will be a truckload of cameo!This will be fun for the readers and will,at the same time,hype the comic^^

Anyone want their characters cameo-ed?

Recently I celebrated my 50th comic. It was 30 panels long, as opposed to the 12 I normally do. It's on the front page of my site since my index dosen't update, so go check out the super-size-ness of comic.

Personally, I'd like to see all 4!

Although it could be a little difficult to fit A super sized strip and a big comemerative pic into the same thing, I guess you'd have to do those seperatly. Also, the breaking the 4th wall thing might not be so good, and has been done a huge amount, so you'd have difficulty coming up with something good there...
~But both of the first two would fit together fine!

Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Bwahahhahaaw! Erm. Mostly, because I forgot about it, though.

I plan on making fun of the fact that everyone always makes a big deal out of their 100th strip by making something unbeleivably mundane and pointless, cuz that's just the kind of guy I am.

I wouldn't mind at all if my characters were to make an appearance, if you feel like using them, at least.

Cameo me! Cameo me! *dances up and down*

I forgot the 100th comic was coming up, and was in the middle of major PLOT when it did. So I didn't do anything for it. Bit of a pity. Maybe I'll do something special at the 1 year anniversary. If I don't forget THAT too...
