# Virtual Reality

SO I realized due to an immense amount of travelling I did last week, I kind of forgot a momentous occasion. As of August 30th, the comic is 10 years old.

I wish I could have done a little bit more to celebrate this but that I’m even getting comics out regularly at all is, quite frankly, nothing short of a miracle to me right now.

But to honor 10 years of comic making, here is 10 things I like about my comic:

One of my only real goals when I started it was to make a Halo comic that would be worthy of being shared by Microsoft with the Halo community. I accomplished that goal like 3 weeks into running the comic, and many times since

I’ve made some awesome friends in the web-comic world, and while I may not talk to a lot of them anymore, I still treasure their friendship

I’ve had to pleasure of getting to know a lot of my readers as well, and consider many of them to be close friends

The original voice actor of Charlie Brown use to be a reader. Then he went to prison and I haven’t heard from him since <.<

A veteran once told me about some difficulties he went through when he got home and how my comic helped him get through a shitty time and I think about that a lot

Screwing around with HTML and CSS on my website is what started my career

It’s allowed me to attend San Diego Comic Con, which eventually led to moving to San Diego

I don’t consider myself a great artist or writer but I feel like the comic demonstrates improvement in both of those areas

The change in my writing style has allowed me to observe my own growth as a person

Working on the comic helped me survive and process several traumatic events in my own life

I wonder, if I did a 10th anniversary poster and sold it on Etsy, would anyone be interested in buying it? I’m thinking I put every character who has ever been in the comic, even just background cameos, a la Simpsons character poster style.

I likely wouldn’t be able to work on it until some time next year but still might be fun to make.
