Can you believe it? Fifty comics! A whole FIFTY of them! It only took a full year to make it this far too. I mean...ok, sure, there were those months where we kind of went without an update, but then almost all of you never saw that. No one did.
The thing is, in modern webcomicery...webcomicacy...urrh, what do you call the art of making comics? Oh, there we go. In the modern art of comic making, 50 webcomics is about equal to pissing into the wind. You're really not going to change much of anything and the only people who are going to notice are those closest to you at the time.
I'd like to think me and Kyle have together contributed SOMETHING to this world. I mean, he's given countless hours sitting down and drawing, and I've plopped down hundreds of dollars, and that sort of money coming from a college student's wallet is painful. We've both given a large part of ourselves to this comic, and I feel that's something we can be proud of.
But there's an old belief in webcomics, and it mostly holds true. If you were not created before 1998, no one is going to care about your comic. If you do not have an archive that holds more pages than the bible, then you are not a real webcomic. There are people who have made these things their entire life, that they earn their sole income from these comics, and they are STILL figuring this shit out.
I'd like to think that every webcomic has, at some point, been in this state. This state of “is it REALLY worth going on like this? Does anybody out there really care?” As each day passes, I more and more hope that it does matter. With each new response to the comic, I feel like I really am doing something. It makes me smile when I actually hear people DEBATE this comic, and talk about things they themselves would change. I say, if other people actually put some thought into your work, then you've done something right.
Maybe this explains, in some way, why that one piece of fan art really meant something to me. It meant I was reaching someone. It wasn't one of my friends, it wasn't someone I had to go out and find, it wasn't meant as an ego boost, it was just there because someone actually was interested in my work. That makes someone feel special.
This rant goes out to all you big guys. Remember your roots. Remember when you yourself first got your own community. Remember when you first had people commenting on your work. Remember when someone first cared. I hope it meant the same thing to you that it meant to me. | |

Speaking on behalf of the dozens of commulative hours I've spent working on the SOC backend engine, the SOC website, and so on, I feel the same way Travis does. | |

That has absolutely nothing with what I have to say here.
I'll admit to being a recent reader, but it's the small, independent (Independant?) webcomics like this I enjoy. Actually, this is probably the only small one I've read, but that's completely aside the point!
I have, in utter Truth, sworn to myself that once I start getting decent money and a bank I can put it into, I'm going to give you guys part of it. This is fun, I can put my thoughts down where everyone can read them (And most likely laugh at me because of it.) and just kind've SEE how everything is flowing together. The characters are fun, if greatly amusing at times, and Gods know I would prefer to see you keep going on with this. Please, for the love of all that is Good in this world, don't stop making these comics. I'm an absolutely craptacular artist, so I can't do any fanart or whatnot, but from what I'm able to tell, fuck knows I'm probably wrong, I'm a half-decent writer.
Screw having started in 1998. Screw having a forum where there's more postings than the bible has pages. I've read it, and it bores me. Wow. I've been offensive to Christianty there now three times! (Take a close look, and if you can't catch the second in here, what a pity.) So, in finality, I'm looking forward to continued reading of SoldOutComic, and I hope it doesn't go anywhere for a long while. Yes, people care. Even assholes like myself are allowed to give a damn once in a while.

Honestly I think if you can get more regular updates and stuffs and get word out you could possibly make this so much more.
I was surprised that I like it like I did. So here's my homage.. kinda. | |

You're on top of the hill!
Wait, no, that's human years, not comic number. Hmmmm, you're a todler! yay! . . :D
Anyways, congrats all around, you better continue or else *shakes fist*
In reply to the three ways that one person insulted Christianity:
Angel rapings is a must :o
Bible is boring :o
and for that hidden second one *drum roll*
Gods instead of God :o
Mwuhahaha I love spoiling the fun.
-Ojimo the Kitten General :D | |

You're so clever. -_-
But no, it didn't spoil any fun, you just ruined people excercising their brain and therefore ruined what could have been an active mind. I'm now mentally parapalegic because you did that! AUGH!
In all seriousness though, (Gods know why I'm starting from a pathetically attempted retort.) you guys are awesomeness. Keep around, and I agree with the other person. Brutal eviscerations if you stop the comic!
Raugh.
