There are a lot of people I probably should thank, because without their friendship, feed-back or encouragement, it’s highly doubtful that I would have kept up with this as long as I have. But the people who were particularly instrumental are Kevin, Chris, Bully and his pal John, Lisa, Melissa, Neilalien, Matt, Larry, Tom, Chris B., Gayprof, Lyle, and the rest of you who know who you are.
And special extra thanks go to Peter (who knows why), John (who knows why) and Mike (who probably wonders why).
For the above, and the rest of you, and for a limited time, I decided to celebrate and thank you with the only true sign of love that exists in this world: a mix tape. Click the below, and for a limited time enjoy a selection of in-jokes, oblique allusions, meta-commentary and personally meaningful stuff.
You had me at John Barrowman.
Congratulations!
Congrats, Dorian!
Congratulations, and what a great gift!
Happy anniversary, Dor! May you be showered with vintage beefcake.
Though I’ve become familiar with your blog only in the last year, congratulations Dorian!
Congrats Dorian. Thank you for five years of a smart, unique voice the comics industry needs.
Best wishes on 5 more – or 10. Someone actually likes Swamp Thing?
Excelsior!
Happy Anniversary! I probably wouldn’t still be around if it weren’t for you, too!
Add me to the “Congratulations!” list and the “Only became familiar with your blog in the last year” list.
You’re also welcome to add me to the short “Wanted to say ‘Congratulations!’ sooner but feared that, as an occasional commenter on Chris Sims’ blog, any comments from me here would carry the vaguely toxic aura of the dark side of blog fame” list, if you’re so inclined.
