TWELVE YEARS OF DAILY COMICS!

It's kind of cool that this day is all about love, because I couldn't think of a better theme for my 12th anniversary of doing daily comics than that.

I love doing comics more than I love doing just about any other thing. It's the thing that drives me. Pushes me. Fuels me.

I love my wife and my kids. And they love me. They love me enough to not only understand my passion for comics, but to encourage it and cheer me on. They believed in this thing long before there was anything to support belief. I wouldn't be able to do this without them. And it wouldn't matter half as much without them to share in it.

And I feel the love from you guys. In every pageview and every e-mail. Every time I ship a book or shake a hand at a convention. And I can't tell you how much it means to me.

So here's to love... in all its forms and incarnations... to 12 great years... and hopefully many, many more.

If you're interested, a couple years ago, I wrote a seven-part series about my personal history in webcomics. It starts here.
