(Matt the Henchman and Angus the Minotaur are sitting at a bar. Angus is holding a phone, while matt has a drink in front of him. Angus' phone buzzes with a "boop boop" sound.)

Angus: "Between you and me, I actually picked her!"
Matt (excitedly): "Geez Louise! How many henches get to pick their own assignments?!"

Panel 4

(Angus smirks while Matt looks on, intrigued.)

Off-panel voice: "Spider Mackenzie?! He died in that Land Piranha Incident!"

Angus: "Are you sure?!"

Today marks 14 years of my doing a daily comic strip on the Web — and the beginning of the second full year since I left my day job to fulfill my lifelong goal of being a full-time professional cartoonist. I couldn’t be more thrilled than I am today. It’s been an amazing year. And I couldn’t have done it without you. It may not seem like much, but every time you visit my site, you help contribute to advertising revenue that helps keep my family afloat. I’ve come to really rely on that advertising revenue over the past year, and I want you to know — I really appreciate that you come here for a few minutes every day. Your support means the world to me. So, thank you. I’ve got some exciting things planned for this year. Stick around! On the event of my ten-year anniversary, I wrote a seven-part series about my personal history in webcomics. If you’re interested, It starts here.
