Yesterday, at the 10 Years get-together, Rich asked a bunch of people to try and come up with another currently running webcomic besides Goats that had been running for ten years continuously, and it took a bunch of webcomic professionals a good fifteen minutes until we were able to think of one. There aren't many, that's for sure.
I'm so thankful to all of you readers for coming back here every day and making this strip part of your life, for supporting it with your purchases and your kind emails and your general awesomeness. You've made it possible for me to make a living doing what I love, and I cannot thank you enough for that. If it is a rare thing for a webcomic to run for ten years continuously, it is because an audience like the one I am blessed with is a difficult thing to come by.
My present to you on Goats' 10th birthday is no lame April Fools jokes. Stay away from all the retarded news sites today and settle in with a cup of cocoa and enjoy a stroll through the archives instead. It will be a slightly better use of your time, I promise.
On an unrelated note, I have some great news concerning Phillip that I want to share, but until he comes up with a name for the news I cannot do so. Hopefully he won't procrastinate too much longer.
Oh, and thanks to everyone who showed up yesterday and forced me to do bizarre shots, I am going to have a great time hanging out with my in-laws today with all these hangovers piled atop one another.
UPDATE: Wizard has a short piece about the 10th Anniversary get-together.
