Ah, 500! As usual with the hundred-posts, here is a comic with recaps from the last hundred comics. If you like this one, check out the other recap-comics from 400, 300, 200 and 100. Of course, to fully appreciate it, you may want to go back and read the last 100 comics, and see if you can name where all the panels are from. CAN YOU?

So there we are! 500 comics. Wow. I don’t even know where to start. Back in July 2008 when I started, I don’t know if I really thought I could make it this far. Mostly right now I’m thinking back to where things were a year ago, and all the successes that have happened. Some big comics, like the “See Something Cite Something” chart, “Types of Typos”, “Bowser Testing” and “Road Sage”. Some big events, like speaking at SXSW, the huge growth and success of Super Art Fight, changing jobs, and growing the HilariAwesome.com store. Makes me wonder what will happen in the future…

If you want some big news, here it is! The first The System book is FINALLY getting done! I’m working on the best way to post the preorder, but it will finally be coming out. It’ll be about $20, so start saving and get ready! I wanted to get the preorder up today, but it makes sense to just wait and do it right. Stay tuned.

Thank you all so, so much for reading, sharing, commenting and doing everything you do that turns this website into a community. It is all appreciated and keeps me posting. I wish I could say 500 meant big changes, but really I’m proud to say that you can expect more of the same, only better.

So share your favorite comics from the last 100 in the comments, and see you Wednesday!
