My God. This comic brings back so many memories-- and incredibly, it's still going strong as ever. 
Finally caught up with reading the several hundred I've missed. Peardian I've gotta say, not only are you a savant at whipping up such a radical adventure, not to mention all of those eye-blisteringly succulent references here and there that often wind up with me shouting "YES! GOD, YES!!" at the screen, but on top of that you've turned a warm and colorful memory of my troubled life into a living legend, and for that, you're my lifelong Big Damn Hero.
Every single strip of this comic has kept me engaged and thrilled and I absolutely can't wait for more (but will do so anyway, even years if you ask it of me).
My all time favorite is James Kong's *dramatic airship dive EXPLOSION* sequence, holy SHIT, that left me grabbing my face in various positions in rapid succession wheezing madly at the screen as if there was a snake around my throat, all like "Whaaa, whaaa, WHAAAT, AHHH WHAT OH MY GOD WHAAAH", it was so insane and incredible. Your skills with making the comics artistic-wise have improved DRAMATICALLY over time, and back in The Day I always thought you were already a very skilled artist! I'm blown away every time I revisit that strip.
And another favorite bit are many of the oh my god adorable moments with BG and his little friend Caesar, ahhhhh that's just the cutest thing EVER! The Pokemon throwback when Caesar vaporizes all those rampaging AFFUN!s left my face chuckling madly into my blankets. God damn. References, man, they're like crack to me and you never disappoint. (...Mahhhh I want a Caesar tooooo! :O Ack now I'm getting in the mood to play Pokemon Black again, hehehehe)
So... yes. P, you've made me one happy kid-at-heart tonight, basking in the warm and tingly afterglow of giggles and thrill and all-around happy. I'm forever grateful you ended up turning this comic into the empire it's become and counting, and no matter where it leads next, I'll will your success into reality from the very fibers and core of my being!
And of course, though this goes without saying, I wish you well in your endeavors at college and in real-life and with your possible girlfriend (or boyfriend hehe), because that stuff is important too and there is NOTHING WRONG with you having a life! I don't need to remind you of that, but am doing so anyway, because I'm awesome like that. Yes, I missed you, sue me. ♥
EDIT: Good gravy, I'm still wearing the layout you made me almost TEN YEARS AGO! It's unbelievable, surreal in fact, how far back this place goes for me.
