She Said Tell, Not Yell

I have done this to my brothers on multiple occasions.

Also, this is our 2100th post. Shame it's also going to be one of the last ones, too...

Two Thousand Posts

Happy 2000th post, I.W.M.A.! I remember our 1000th post... (the title is actually a repeated title of that post.)

And so, as promised, here's our long-anticipated celebration picture (the file's kinda large):

This image contains every single character ever shown in I.W.M.A. and Nermia. Really. Try to name a character from I.W.M.A. that ISN'T in the photo (I'll make it easy for you. There isn't one).

This image shows the last usage of my light brown (skin color), main orange, pink, and Bob green (you know, Bob's shade of fur). It also introduces five new colors: beige, canary yellow, crimson red, rose, and orange, all Prismacolor.

I've started thinking that if I can get another thousand posts in, I might seriously consider ending the blog then.

Once again, happy 2000th post, I.W.M.A.!

MJ&M-Brand Mints

This idea came from an idea my brother had a little while ago. Someone's crush was coming past and he wanted to get a breath mint, and then it occurred to him that if one mint makes your breath smell good, then two would make it smell better, as would five...or ten...or fifty...and then we see him coming to his crush with two gigantic cheeks. ...I'm not exactly sure how that evolved into this.

Happy 1900th post, I.W.M.A.! To celebrate, we have this...um...what do we got lying around here, um...ah, a picture...of my...sketchbook.

Whoopee...

I hope the 2000th post's celebration is more exciting than that.

STARE...er.

This is a repeated title of STARE.

Also, today is our 1800th (!) post.

Um, Yes, I Did

As a matter of fact, I did use that "excuse" last year.

This is our 1700th post! And to celebrate it, we're going to show some...

UNUSED HOLIDAY THEMED LOGO BOXES!

The text inside the stocking reads "And more and more attention!"

The text inside the turkey reads "With tons of food!"

The text on the candy bag reads "The scariest comic in town!"

...So What Is It?

It took me a little while to think of a premise that would make Julia say this. Since it was the day after another BCS (Body Conjoiner/Swapper) strip, I thought, why not?

Happy 1600th Post, I.W.M.A.!

This Boy Really IS 100% Rubber

Happy 1500th Post! Our semi-celebration is:

We will post Part 7 of The Dusk Rider later today!

The IWMA Top Ten!

Everybody, today's our 1400th post. So today I'll be posting the IWMA Top 10, my ten favorite strips I've done since I started this blog four years ago.

#10:#9:#8:#7:#6:#5:#4:#3:#2:And, (drum roll please), The #1 IWMA Strip...Tah-dah!

HOW DOES SHE DO THAT?!?!?!?!

This is our 1300th post!

Oh. So He Doesn't Have 666 Urchins.

It's getting hard to think of urchin jokes.

As a side note, this is the blog's 1200th post!

And The Winner Is...???? Thanks A Lot, Static!

Today's the 1100th post.

One Thousand Posts

1000 posts. Wow.

For my 1000th post, I will be...well, since it's so close to June 23rd, I'll just do it then.

The reason the 2005 and 2007 pictures aren't colored is because the original pictures weren't colored in, either. To make them look A.S.A.P. (as similar as possible), I traced over the original pictures with my lightbox. The pictures of 65 million BC and 1 million BC weren't real pictures, I just drew them from scratch for this comic (as I did for the 2009 picture). But I drew them the way I would have drawn them when I was a kid. To emphasize that even more, I colored those two pictures with crayons. Then I colored the 2003 & 2004 pictures with twisty crayons, where you twist a knob at the end, and the crayon comes out the other end. And then, I colored the 2006, 2008, & 2009 with colored pencils. The dinosaur for the first "evolution" picture is supposed to be a Parasaurolophus, because of the little curve in the top of Moe's head. I decided to do the Evolution of Moe for my 1000th post in my comic strip, but that isn't the real celebration. The real celebration is...

MY PODCAST IS FINALLY GOING TO BE RELEASED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, happy 1000th post, I.W.M.A. And here's to 1000 more! Let the party begin!

(twooot)

Happy 900th Post!

Well, this is our 900th post. We're getting close to the 1000th post mark. I didn't have time to make...or learn how to make...a 3D picture, so instead, I give Kristene...900 fish.

Hey, it was the spur of the moment. I couldn't think of anything else, okay?

IT'S OUR 800TH POST!!!!!!!!

Snoopy's real line is "Some of us are upper-bunkers, and some of us are lower-bunkers.. I guess I'll always be a lower-bunker," right after he slid off his doghouse.

Did you notice that in the side view of the doghouse, it's like Snoopy's, with really thin pieces of wood, but when we switch to the 3/4 view, the pieces get thicker? I did that on purpose.

Earlier today, Julia, Merlin, and Heidi all challenged Moe to drink 800 glasses of milk in only 13 and one-third hours...800 minutes. I think he did it.

And The 700th Post Award Goes To...This Post? Really?

The idea that Moe would have Asperger's Syndrome is taken from a comment on an old post.

This is our 700th post, so, as usual, we wanna "celebrate." This time, we'll be showing the evolution of the characters! In other words, we're going to show pictures of the characters when they were first drawn. Hope you enjoy!

The lady at the bottom is Mama, the dog at the bottom is what would later become Merlin, and the soap bottle is Dad, believe it or not. Pictures of Jocken Fred, Brennan, and Heidi not available.

I.W.M.A. already knows what we will do on our 700th post. What should we show on our 800th post?

Our poll is tied, so we don't need a graph. We got 3 votes for the 800 somethings, and 3 votes for the 3D picture. We'll do 800 of something on our 800th post, and the 3D picture on our 900th. We don't do more than one thing to celebrate our _00th post.

That just leaves our 1000th post...

What's a Muscular Potato?

Moe's phrase in the second panel came from The Master.

Well, this is our 600th post. But we don't have 600 of anything...so we'll post

Sound good?

Check Back Later

I.W.M.A. is still on its hiatus, so yesterday's and today's strip will be delayed a little bit.

Expect to see a 600th post celebration soon.

POST #500!!

Well, happy 500th, IWMA! Because of an old profile random question, I said that the 500 celebration would be a statue made out of 500 of my comic strips...thank goodness they finished it in time! Because the 500th post is here now, I've changed my random question on my profile. Check it out.

No, my strips really aren't as big as a person, I just drew him smaller to make the statue look bigger.

Is It Already my 400th Post?!

I had to think a little bit to get a good NITM for this. Again, since this is my 400th post, I am going to celebrate. Moe decided we needed a spot to archive all our strips. The bad news is:

...it was on Julia. Here's a bit of trivia for you: the text underneath the sketch at the bottom says "August 07 NITM!" I had no idea that would BE the 400th post!
