Delve just made it to number 10 on the TopWebComics list, thanks to all of your votes!
I’m really having a hard time processing that. It seems not so long ago that I was excited that we broke into the top 200, and now you’ve made Delve one of the top ten?
I’m kinda floored by that. Wow.
Thank you all so much for your support. I know I don’t talk about my personal life too much, but there have been a lot of bad times when I felt like just walking away from it all and giving up. Heck, I all but did give up on more than one occasion. Still, somehow, I kept coming back to it… not even sure why I did sometimes, but something about these characters made me want to tell their stories, no matter how silly or trivial they might have seemed to the more serious, cynical side of my personality.
Thanks for sticking with me, and for helping to get to this point… a point that I honestly never believed I would reach. It’s hard for me to accept that people actually like what I do. I don’t say that to elicit sympathy. I just want you to understand a little of how screwed up it is inside my head. I guess I’m just saying that there are a lot of bad memories in there, a lot of really bad things, but now, thanks to you all, there is something really amazing, something truly good… something that can never be taken away from me. It’s something that I will always be able to point to when the voices come howling in the middle of the night, telling me how much I suck.
I can now turn to my demons and say, “I made it to the Top Ten list, you imaginary sons o’ bitches, so shut the hell up!”
Thank you for that. Thank you very much.
AH
Congratulations! You are awesome, and tons of people love what you do! Though I thought I’d seen it as high as 8 or 9 at one time – are you sure this is the first time it’s been in the top 10? Maybe I was just having premonitions again?
More importantly: Listen up, Andrew’s-imaginary-voices, if you ever jeopardize our access to the awesomeness of Delve again, my imaginary voices are totally going to find you! They told me so themselves. You do NOT want to mess with Ed8’s-imaginairy-voices. They love the strip too. Well, all but that one, and he never likes anything. Jerk.
Thank you! According to the TWC site, this is the first time I’ve gotten above 11, which was already pretty amazing.
And thank your voices for the offer of help. Mine can be pretty persuasive at times, and they could use the competition. 8)
