Daily Grind Anniversary
Today marks ONE YEAR of The Daily Grind Iron Man Challenge. 27 people have made it to this one year mark, 260 strips, and hats off to them. The people I thought would be challenges, flubbed out way earlier than I thought they would, so long suckers! I’ll spend your money well.
And I’d like to thank Mother Nature for knocking Crosby out of the competition. WHEW!!!
Sure, it’s a milestone, one year without missing an update?—big deal. One year?? Pssssh! You ain’t seen nothin yet. I wonder who else has the chops to battle me for a decade? Honestly, I relish the thought of that sort of thing. It’s why I joined the contest in the first place. Who’s left that’s willing to do some CRAZY epic grind with me??? Ali? Brad? Jennie?
Here’s to year two…

A decade? Surely inflation would have rendered the prize money useless by then.
Ah well.
FOR HONOUR!

Hey DJ could you put up link to loser something of doom/death that you did a while back. Warms my heart everything i see it

How can Brad be stil in? He cancelled his original comic and started a new one! I demand a recount! I won’t support those other posers, they don’t consistantly publish hillarity 5 days a week. If the comic isn’t funny, then they should be left out…
Now, what if it does take a decade for the trajically dips to drop out?

You’re the only artist with the stones to make it to the end. Specifically, big giant rocks in your head.

Thought I’d let you know that we, your mindless zombie fans, will root for you till the end, man. Because we’re mindless zombies. Not because you have talent or drive or anything.

Hahaha, yeah. I got roped into some 3x a week grind on June 6, and now we appear to be deadlocked at 4 members left.
One of them are only still in it to beat me, which is great as that person does my favorite webcomic ever. I update, they update. WIN WIN! We’re on strip 116, now. I’ll be shy a little over 100 less than what you did, but it’s a hell of a milestone for me.
I’m going for decades too. =D

DJ, you need to explain it to them like this. If they are 30 years old and live another 50 years (life expectancy 80 but most are out of shape so I’m being generous) they’ve got 2600 weeks left before they die. Do they really want to spend their last 2600 weeks in this contest for which they will not defeat you? Tell them to enjoy their last 2600 weeks as it will be over too soon and to drop out now.

I want to mention that you have by far the most hostile picture on the daily grind site.

Hey, D.J.!
I’d be somewhat interested in what you’re talking about. But first, howabout you match *my* monthly output? I do a *six*-day-a-week comic, a weekly single-panel comic, and I just started a bi-weekly long-form comic.
The first, I’ve been doing for over six years, the second I’ve been doing for over a year, and I just started the third last month.

Brad–I think I have it covered man. For one, most of my comics are in full color while yours are in piddly black and white– PLUS, beyond my daily, I do freelance work, like the back up stories in the ArchEnemies series from Dark Horse, AND I’m doing bonus content, full color pages for the Club section and the monthly comic book, and I don’t even count things like the comic covers, and all the extra layout work I have to do for that— On top of all the COMIC content, I do a CRAPLOAD of online caricatures, — Last month, I did 19 of them!
So, don’t try to front!

Geez, Deej! You’re a machine. I humbly bow in your honor.

Oh– and when I go posturing like that, my wife always likes to remind me that beyond all the comics crap I do, I have a great wife, 3 kids and a fuckton of animals to take care of every day.
I see you at the finish line, Brad… when I spend your twenty!
