Happy Birthday To Us

in Housekeeping by jon

Goats is eight years old today! Our first strip ran on April 1, 1997. I've drawn 1,662 more in the time since then.

Instead of buying us a present, please consider buying one for yourself.

Can't I just say "Happy Birthday!" and be done with it?

I think I mentioned this [goats.com] earlier. But none the less, I'll reiterate my best wishes for many more of the same. Also can I put you, Jon & Phillip, down for 1997?

How many beers have you consumed since then?

Happy birthday.

My memory doesn't go that far back. I only know that because the archive tools tell me so.

If we're only counting what I can remember, then 6 beers.

You chose the birthday as April 1 just to make people triple-think before actually believing it, right?
Happy birthday - and I mean it because it's no longer 4/1.

You win this Week's Coveted Self-Contradiction Award!

Congratulations!

I usually am forced to award this only to myself. (since I never deserve it...)

But it's been a slow week for me.

This award has no monentary value.

8 years, you fuckers, I remember when nobody knew about goats, people looked at me like I had lost my mind when I mentioned it, now everybody I know is a fan, too bad we're poor or we woulda bought something in the past 8 years. In honor of your birthday, a poem......

the village idiot sat
amusing himself by abusing himself
and catching it in his hat
