A Minor Milestone!

Hey, I know it ain't much, but Friday's strip was the 350th that I have drawn!

Combine that with the sixteen guest strips, and FCE totals 366 strips!

Okay, it's not exactly Melonpool, with well over 1,000 strips, but I'm working on it!

w00t! Go Matt! Keep 'em coming! :-)

And to think, I just started reading this a few months back...

And I'm only at 114 strips, meself...

I intend to, Cap'n! And I don't think I ever expected to be doing it this long. But then, only in the ephemeral universe of webcomicking is two and a half years considered "a long time!"

Yeah, but you update Monday through Friday! I STILL have less than a full year's-worth of daily strips. You'll pass me in no time.

Good job! I'm nearing the 1300 mark, myself. Just do it as long as you find it rewarding.

(btw, you can get me to read just about any thread that has the word "Melonpool" in it).

And today's magic word is... Kibo (definition 2). Hey, Steve. :-)

Well, I COULD calculate it out, assuming we both have no interruptions... but nah. That'd be silly. :-)

Thanks, Steve! Wow, 1300? I didn't realize you'd got that many done! (y'know, what with all the hiatuses...

)

And that's excellent advice about only doing this for as long as I enjoy it. Once it becomes a chore, that's the time to hang it up.

Oh, and melonpool! melonpool! melonpool! melonpool! melonpool! melonpool! melonpool! melonpool! melonpool! melonpool! melonpool!

Way to go Matt! Next thing you know you'll hit 1000 strips and not even know it
