This is the two-hundredth blog post! Woweeee!! I started the blog (with this ^ ridiculous image) in Feb last year, and started churning out comics soon after that. And what a whirlwind it’s been, eh? I have been asked about 200 times if people can give me money, and I have been told about 200 times that it’s a shame that this ongoing comic is finished. (It’s not finished, people; that’s what ‘ongoing’ means).
To celebrate this 200th blog post, here is an awkward conversation I had in a meeting at my actual, real-life work recently (recently-ish, think it was back in December last year or something, but time has less meaning these days, eh?):
Guy #1: “These article stats are really healthy!”
Me: “Pfff, my blog articles get ten times that many views.”
Guy #1: “You have a blog?”
Guy #2: “You have a blog? What’s the blog?”
Me: “No I, no … haha. Nnnnnnoooo no, nope. No, I mean, if I was to have a blog … it’d … the stats would be … better?”
Guy #2: “Oh you don’t have a blog?”
Me: “Haha, no I mean, you know, blog stats, can be, on average, really high. I’ve heard.”
Guy #1: “Oh.”
Guy #2: “Oh.”
It was awful. I think I went the crimson type of red you get when certain suns explode. I died 200 times. I am terrible at lying so just had to move the conversation elsewhere extremely rapidly.
Aaaaanyway, life eh? Full of bollocks. One moment you think you’re shutting up the smug bros, the next moment you’re defending the stupidest lie of all time. No, no, I’m sure blog stats can be higher. If I was to have a blog, it’d be … healthy? I’m such a bad liar.
Which is kinda why I started the blog in the first place, so there was a safe place to play with fantasy, a playground I owned where I could toy with my ponderments without getting found out.
And here we are! Happy 200th everyone!
