So Thursday marks the 200th comic from Narcolepsy Incorporated.

..and I don’t have anything drawn for it yet.

It’s like I’m a boxer and I’m getting ready for the big fight, and for the life of me, I just can’t remember how to lace up my gloves.

I’m gonna go out there and get the shit kicked out of me, and I’m going to do it in front of everyone who’s supported me getting this far.

What would Russell Crowe do?

Hitting 200 probably isn’t that big of a feat as far as comics go. I remember when I was little, somehow or another, nearly every year I’d get a one-a-day Gary Larson Far Side calendar and by roughly the third or fourth day in, I would have read all 365 of them.

But me... I’m about to hit 200 and I feel like I’ve just run a marathon.

..I’m the fat guy who wheezes past the first mile marker and then tells himself he deserves celebratory ice-cream.

Mmmmmmm... ice-cream....

Admittedly though, looking back through the archives, I have to say I’m a little shocked it’s gone on this long. I’m not what most people would call a hobbyist. If anything, until this point, my one and only hobby has been finding hobbies to quit.

I’ve got the musical instruments and martial arts weapons in storage to prove it.

*though, if finding ways for girls to not want to have sex with you is a hobby, I gave that one a pretty long run..

That being said, I’m sure I’ll come up with something before Thursday. I’ve had ideas, though none of them have panned out thus far.

I’m sure I’ll come up with something in time.

Maybe I should coin a new phrase..

“If you want to find out how good you are under pressure.. start a web comic.

..or bang a fat chick.”
