Just Another Sunday... NOT!

So today is kind of a big deal. One year ago I made my first post and the Daily Comics Review was born. It hasn't always been every day, funny, or about comics, but it has been 365 days! I've learned a lot about blogging, networking and promotion in this time. I've read several thousand comic strips and web comics in order to bring you a handful of the best and worst each day. This whole thing has been pretty cool.

Before I show you all some strips to illustrate what is new and what hasn't changed in the last year, I've got some people to thank! Eric Carlson was my first assistant and without his formating and SEO help the DCR might never have gotten off the ground. Brian Hall of Watch This Space was the first person to take a crack at covering the weekend, and although he doesn't stop by very often any more, he took the 7-days-a-week pressure off my shoulders which definitely helped me not burn out. All of my current writers are bad asses. Kaitlyn, XY and Stella all volunteer their time here to help me attempt my own little internet dream and I hope you all stay around the DCR for a long time. Lastly I would like to thank the fans! One comment about something you liked or hated can make all the difference between feeling like I'm making something people enjoy and is worth my time, or that I am just kidding myself in to thinking someone would read what I write.

It was true when I started and it's still true today. If you look hard enough you can find someone doing something original and entertaining every day within this medium we all love.

I know last year when we started the newspaper comic page wasn't doing so well but it seems the degeneration is accelerating more every day. Comics as we know them are changing drastically and it is our job as fans to support what we love. Look for more calls for action this year as we get involved in the fight to save our media.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - everyone hates Jeffey. We will continue to strike against bad cartoons and lazy creators every day until our dying day, and that's a promise.

That dying day might not be too far off if creators keep making these Google Earth comics. If I am still reading these in a year I don't think I'll want to live any more.

So when I read this post one year from now here is what I hope is new: 1:This fucking recession is over. 2: The website is even more popular and people are loving our podcasts. 3: I am crowned comedy king of the interwebs!
