In the early days of internet webcomics, I feel like getting to page 50 and other such numbers might be worth a celebration or omake illustration. Sometimes, I miss those days… There was a level of sincerity and lack of self-awareness that I don’t think a lot of webcomics, or really even people, have anymore. The concept of “cringe” was non-existent. Sometimes it led to some wildly questionable stories, but there was a high level of creativity and experimentation. Sometimes I feel the internet has become too sanitized and self-aware these days. You can’t really be your most creative when you’re too self-conscious or feel like you need to self-censor to appeal to website terms of services and the like.

Anyway, this is just ramblings akin to “back in MY day” so feel free to ignore me.
