anticlimactic, planetary
Yeah, I didn’t have an awe-inspiring epic lined up for comic number dun dun dun two hundred, just a little Halloween costume bit. Honestly this milestone kind of snuck up on me. Soon, I’ll be 50, and I’ll be pregnant. I expect to be informed of both these developments in the mail this weekend.
I would like to congratulate the small crew of dedicated people – no, machines – that have plugged scripts into the awfully mercurial Ohnorobot.com interface: we’ve got over 50% of these comics transcribed, and that’s no mean feat considering how long the suckers are and how much I like to write text sideways. I worry about your sanity, peoples. But at this rate the long dark journey through the valley of data entry will be over surprisingly quickly, and then I can try to make the things into a handy reference somehow.

Here is a blogger that focuses on only the most essential panels in comics.
This Flash game is sure to appeal to the Nobody Scores! audience. Hint: don’t win!
Does that look like fun? I think that looks like fun. The comment vortex is, as usual, open for commenting and the sharing of sandwich recipes.
