My last doodle of the year I was going to go for something apolitical & mushy, but instead ended up mocking Der SCoaMF waving g'bye to 2013 for me.

My website is an open sketchbook-diary of my random crap. I call it the web's best-kept secret since 1996 - probably fewer hits in my site's history (discounting spambots) than Ace gets in an hour.

That's fine with me. I'm not out to be a pop phenom. Fame scares the bejeebers out of me, actually. Moonbattery once embedded a video of mine, and when I, not knowing that, saw the views stat spike, the ol' tummy clenched up like a monkey hearing a jaguar roar. Although... if fame came associated with proportional wealth, I would try to handle it.

The web's growth surprised me, and I had been waiting for it for decades. I never really thought about the possibility of anything like 'going viral' when I first scanned & uploaded a cartoon to the newfangled web thingy. Now that I realize how easily one can, quite randomly, become a worldwide target, for just the slightest thing, well, I might have been more circumspect in some of my uploading. Or, maybe not. Too late now.

Basically, I'm just glad if I can now and then reach my "niche market," like finding someone with whom you know you can share the latest joke.

The stats show that the biggest referrer to my site in 2013 was Ace. Since this is practically the only place I plug my stuff, not a big surprise. I hope there aren't too many followed my links and got disappointed, and that some got a smile or something now & then.

Upshot is, I appreciate this community, and our hosts, for all I get from alla y'all, and I hope I've returned a tithe or so in jokes, links, and sometimes a webwork. HBD, Ace of Spades blog. Happy New Year you old horde you, and, for Auld Tymes' Sake... one of the greatest AoS-spawned memes...

BARACK OBAMA IS STILL A STUTTERING CLUSTERFUCK OF A MISERABLE FAILURE!
