It’s 6 years to the day since I started blogging at Comics212. I’m a considerably better writer at this point, I think. I actually started writing a column for 212.net in December if 1997, so I guess that was my official serialized writing debut (10 years!), but it wasn’t until April 23 2002 that the blogger software roared to life. 🙂
I’d originally planned to do like a whole big… thing… today, sort of a tour through some of my favourite things, but it didn’t work out. Up until I started writing this I was a bit disappointed about that, but I’ve just realized that the reason I haven’t had time to put this stuff together is because I’ve been so busy actually doing all of the stuff I used to talk about. The events, the promotion of worthwhile comics and graphic novels, developing new formats and new outlets and all of that. I’m super, super proud of everything I’ve accomplished over the last few years, and while I may still completely fuck it up every once in a while, things are going better than ever. Thanks to everyone for reading and linking and what-not over the years, and for all the kind words I continue to receive.
Here’s to six more…

Thanks everybody.
And yeah Mike, that was my very first column for 212. I totally forgot about the other stuff I wrote… “Discussing the Industry”. I should go see if there’s an archive of that online anywhere.
Happy belated blogiversary, Chris! Keep up the great work!!

Congrats. I enoy reading the blog, so I wish you another 66 years! 🙂
