The System 300: Emo Filter

Happy 300!

I know in the past I’ve done big recap comics for The System 100 and The System 200.  Expect that tradition to continue, but I couldn’t do it in time for today*.  It’ll just have to be posted under another number.  Still, thank you all to each of you who reads the comic.  I like to look at the numbers and stats (some would say too much) and think about how that is individual people enjoying commiserating with what is going on here.  If anyone has any suggestions for comics from the last 100 that need to be “called out” in the big recap comic, let me know in the comments of this post.

By the way, did you know you can buy prints of this or any other comic?  Check out the new online store for that and all things The System, Hilariawesome.com. Find Jimmy the Murderdog, comic prints, bike sniper shirts, and even HELL Vetica.

In the meantime, thanks again, Systemics.  It’s been a year and a half of awesome, and I can’t wait to take it further.

*Btw, thanks to Systemic @AngelicHapa who suggested I use this old tweet as inspiration for today’s comic. Thanks for following me on Twitter, and for the idea!

    Love it! Congrats on 300!

    You can be emo with us, we don't mind :)

    Congrats! Do a recap comic under strip number PI * 100 (#314).

    Feel free to be emo w/me–as if there were any question.

    I mean if you don't, you will be subjected to the "wrath of Mom". (That's something to which no one should be subjected as I'm sure you can imagine if you have any sense of safety.)

    Congrats! on your 300th!!!!

    Congrats on 300, but if I remember correctly this one might actually be 299. Some time ago you skipped ahead in number one and said you'd fill in the back log later, though I'm not sure if you ever did. So you're off the hook for re-cap comics.

    I thought it was around 140-something, but I can't find it.

    At any rate, thanks and hope to see you at Katsu again!

    Gz on #300, and this might be the best idea for a filter since… since… perhaps ever!

    You are on my daily must-read list.

    By the luck of the draw, you follow http://www.yehudamoon.com/ , so you're in good company.

    Congrats, Ross! I've been keeping up so far, and plan to do so for as long as you can keep it up.

    Heh. "Keep it up."

    I went back and checked. The archive is on track so yes, this is 300.

    Congratulations on 300! Really love the comic! Can't tell you how much I wish this were real… and more people used it… including my ex-girlfriend.

    Congrats on 300 :)

    I believe my response to your tweet was most fitting: "It's called 'common sense.'" Too bad common sense isn't always all that common. Ahh, late nights and emotions.

    Congrats on 300! I'm all for the 314th being a celebratory comic as well.
