What should we do for #150?

Guys, I need your help.

Next week marks the 150th issue of the comic, but I don't have anything special planned yet. I don't have the energy (or time) to make another animation like I did for #100, and a Yearbook issue-- well, I did that already in #50.

So my question to you is, what should I do? Should I do anything at all? The current story is dragging on too long anyway, so I figured I'd just let #150 be the next issue the current story arc and, if anything, we could do something fun on the side.

A community chat via Skype? Joke around, ask questions, stuff like that? A Team Fortress 2 night, or some other gaming session? Or would you rather I just did something like make a behind-the-scenes special about how the comic gets made, showing all the steps from idea, to the stuff you see on your screen each week?

The last anniversary events were basically me horn-tooting, but I'd like this one to be about you, the readers. Without your support, there's no way I'd have made it to #150. I wouldn't have got beyond #5. So let me know what you think and feel. Post your comments in the comments section, use the chatbox on the left, email me, contact me on whatever message board you know me from, or put your thoughts on Helix's facebook page. And thanks for sticking by me for three fantastic years!

Sorry about the delay.

B.A.D.A.S.S. has taken its toll on the Joe team, with only 3 of them left to compete! (Not including Snake-Eyes, who's sneaking around the backlot. I know, I owe you guys a ninja duel. It's coming, yes?)

In case you saw the latest Batteries Not Included strip and are sensing a common theme, you can find out why by checking out my last article at Kitty's Pryde. If next week's comic is slightly delayed and/or short and/or half-assed, you'll know why.

Speaking of half-assed comics, onto the new strip!

COMIC - File #142: "Jonesing"

Sorry for the lateness this week. If you want to know why the comic was late, this article should explain everything. Is this remotely related to the comic? We'll see.

Other news you might enjoy that is more directly related to the comic, I will be a guest on the Joe podcast What's On Joe Mind? this week. It should be up by Friday the 10th, so check out WhatsOnJoeMind.podbean.com if you'd like to hear the Joe Mind crew talking to me and whatnot. See ya then!
