#450

Ok - so Sunday came a little late this week, but I haven’t been home in a day or two… home being a subjective term, but that’s not the point of this post. It seems that here at strip 450 I should make some new speech about how much I appreciate every single last one of you folks. I do. The ones that post. The ones that don’t.

I thank you and love you individually. There was a small period of time that I was considering presenting IHL to a site that (if accepted) would have allowed my viewership to jump up literally a couple tens of thousand. I admittedly would have had to hand the ownership of IHL to someone else for a contracted period of time, and would have not been able to post anything for that period. It was tempting, but I couldn’t. I just couldn’t. I’m not saying that I will not be considering writing something else for this program, but I couldn’t give anyone IHL.. even for 6 months. Mainly because I felt like I would be selling you guys out. No, don’t post ‘WE WOULD HAVE STAYED’ - I know you would have, but I’ve made IHL a part of my life. Three times a week at the very least I’m sitting in front of my computer and working on the world of the dots.

I admittedly think that stopping that flow might ruin my entire universe. Like gears meshing together and destroy me… The fact that I had to take my first ever hiatus of two strips made me crazy.

So now that we are 50 away from the HUGE number of 500 - I will be making a major update to the tattoo page and be talking more about the ‘OH MY DOT’ concept. We’re going to stop this from being an idea… and I think it’s time to start a Dot-Movement.

More later in the week, but thank you all for being here - and I love each and every one of you.

As fucking serious as I can ever be,
James Hatton

Stumble it!

    Can they kill Chris? I thought he was already dead.

    GOD OF SUCK!! hahahaha

    I love that addition of ‘Wabbit Season’

    It’s good you didn’t hand it over. Things would have probably started changing negatively too. *hugs*

    and I’ve been trying to say ‘Oh my dot’ more often

    Yay and wow for Chris! And I was thinking on the whole Dot thing. You know we need a hand gesture. Sorta like the cross people sign on their body. ‘Spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch’ to quote Austin Powers. And all I can think of is drawing a big circle and then I think of Mars Attacks! and then I start humming Tom Jones….. And hey while I may not know you well enough to be mushy I can say that IHL and your blog/comment thingy brightens my existence.

    Nik: A point to be addressed in a future strip.
    “Carlo” & Nikki: You know nothing but love =)
    Livevil: On an amusing aside, I do the ’spectacles testicles wallet & watch’ every morning to make sure I have my glasses, my money, my ipod, and my wallet. And I’m glad I brighten your day just a lil.

    Thank you for YOUR consideration of US…
    DOT be with you…
    ;-)
    See you on the 29th~

  8. Anna Says:

    We love you too. Thanks for all of this.

    And the Bugs Bunny reference made my day.

  9. Nik423 Says:

    I finally finished the entire archive (as I tend to do when feeling out a comic that’s new to me).
    Since there’s so much love being thrown around here, I felt like I should chime in, b/c I love this comic. Furreal.
    Thanx for the laughs!

  10. redtail Says:

    well, you know i love you, that’s been said plenty of times in the past two years.
    keep up the good works and i’ll see you at pitt-con!
    DOT BE PRAISED!

    <3 <3

    But goddamn, I really want to watch Shaun of the Dead now… or at least go listen to some Queen.

    Funny stuff…makes me wish there was some sort of PODCAST unrelated to the subject to listen to while I read the back issues. We miss you, Mad Hatton. The Rabble says “Hi.”
