Thus ends
Year One of Words & Pictures. To our utter surprise and
delight, you're still here and we still have jobs. For that,
Jamie and I give thanks from the bottoms of our black, fat-clogged
hearts.
Thanks to
everyone who reads and everyone who votes and everyone who's
linked
us on their site. Special thanks to all the readers who
send us mail and post on the comment board; it's one thing to
see numbers on a stats page and another entirely to hear your
voices. Thanks for your W&P shrines, schoolgirl costume photos
and descriptions of Jamie's
penis.
Finally,
thanks to my lifelong friend Steve Rigney for granting us a
fiefdom on his webspace, which would normally be making
him money instead of costing him money.
Incidentally,
all those times we said everything you see here is based in
fact? Yeah, um, what we really meant to say was it's
100% fiction that in no way represents the opinion or affairs
of the nameless advertising agency we work for. We also never
received an e-mail with the exact text you see above. Because
if we had, this post would be grounds for termination.
So lucky thing we didn't.

P.S. Thankful
as we are, we're even more sorry that last week's words
vs. pictures sucked harder than the cold vacuum of outer space.
I mean, wow. We've been doing a lot of business travel
for a shoot, so maybe we were jet lagged or something. We'll
try hard to suck less in the future.
Starting now.
P.P.S. The
most popular webcomic in existence (over 2 million page views
a day) is whimsically slaking its thirst at our watering
hole. I find this to be a grim portent, indeed.
