Eric: Had I known this yesterday, that snark would have run today

From what I'm given to understand, Scott Kurtz's PvP, formerly known as Player Vs. Player, is seven years old today.

The first strip seems almost alien, and yet if you look at it, the underlying humor shines through.

Damn. That means I took a job at the school I work at just two and a half weeks before Scott Kurtz inaugurated PvP. Now, Scott is an Image Comics artist, known internationally, supporting himself through his work, and interviewed by National Public Radio.

I... still work at this school.

Man, now I need some scotch.

(Congrats, man.)

And we're still at the bead store.

And I'm still working on THE SAME FREAKING SERIAL STORY.

Wait, that's actually the same thing that Kurtz is doing. Okay, forget it, I feel better, with the caveat that he has exactly two and one half fuckloads more content to show for his seven years of labor.

Hey! That's my scotch you're stealing...

Okay, okay, go ahead. I tend to share it anyway... ;)

On the other hand, he's been writing the same strip for seven years (and web popularity usually looks like a parabola, while his is more of a logarithmic curve) while you've been writing this for slightly >9 months, and you're one of the heaviest hitters online.

To be fair, getting interviewed on NPR isn't exactly a huge achievement. :)
