Yes, it’s true: you’ve just read our 200th comic! To celebrate, we’ve decided to chronicle a week in our lives in which nothing much seems to happen. We hope you understand.

Actually, having this comic to work on really has broken up the monotony of our routines. We really enjoy having something to work on and get excited about, and we’re really glad to have people who read it, too. So if you’ve been here all along, or even if you just got here, thank you. We really appreciate you.

As for our good friend the Roach, he’s moving on to do big things. Hopefully this isn’t the last we see of him. While we working stiffs may be jealous of his accomplishments, we are really just happy for him and all his success.

But if he tries to tell you about the new element he’s created called Roachium, don’t believe a word out of his mouth. He knows as well as I do that it was my idea, even if he did most of the heavy lifting.
