   Sounds more like Christmas Future now.

   Could be worse, could’ve mentioned the King’s affair with Wendy. And let’s not even get started with the In and Out.

3. over 8 years ago on The Big Picture

   Not to mention that the tire the hippo is swinging in seems so much larger and with a much larger space in the center than the 3 tires left on the truck, especially considering the truck driver, who in proper scale would be twice as tall as the hippo. Just sayin’.

   “Katy bar the door” is so old, it was out-of-date before “Cool” became a popular term.

5. about 9 years ago on Goats

   It must be noted that Goats’ original run actually started in 1997 on its own domain (Rosenberg was reportedly ticked that he was able to register goats.com, so he put a goat in his comic) and what you are seeing was originally ‘weblished’ in 2003, when he first became serious about having a serious (for certain definitions of ‘serious’) story arc (which is also where the archive on the Official Website now starts http://goats.com/index.php?id=1 ). One trigger pre-warning: this first storyline turns deeply sacrilegious in the next few weeks (depending on how frequently it’s updated here), setting the stage for a very random universe/multiverse for the remainder of the run and into the Scenes comic.

   Also, he left the Goats story hanging in 2010, not with a real cliffhanger but an unfinished epic main arc that needed resolution before the Mayan Apocalypse in 2012 (remember that?). Many (including me) still believe that he will do so, with this addition to the gocomics lineup meaning that he will HAVE TO before it catches up… in about 7 years. Sigh,

   Dave Kellett deserves all the recognition he can get, especially after taking a break from his great webcomics to co-produce/direct “Stripped”, the best documentary about the Funnies (in the papers and out) EVER. He got everybody who was anybody to interview (including BILL WATTERSON). The ‘additional footage’ is so worth the price of the DVD.

   I’ve seen Dan Piraro credit you frequently for some of the better “Bizzaros”, so I expect your own comic to be pretty dang good, and hope you can increase the frequency, if only to put the daily single-panels that aren’t as good as Dan’s to shame. You don’t need to be as good an artist to get the joke across, and this shows it. (And I’ve seen a lot of takes on ‘more realistic Spiderman’ – there’s one superhero webcomic that started with that premise – but I’d never seen anybody use flypaper.) You’re off to a grand start.

   Sorry, Stephen, but it’s been done before – and better – in 1972 by the comedy troupe The Credibility Gap featuring Harry Shearer (pre-Simpsons) and David L. Lander (pre-“Squiggy”)

   Sure, “Angry Eyebrows” might not have been a good idea in 2009, but after Peter Capaldi used that phrase the first time he looked in the mirror on “Doctor Who”, I think its time may have come!

    Well, I, for one, will never forget Biff Bombard. Bravo, Mr. Merritt, on a tale well told.
